OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Create an upgrade for Jand Talo's lightsaber
- Image Source: wookieepedia; edit by me
- Canon Link: Lightsaber
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Lightsaber, Lightsaber Components, Lightsaber Resistant Materials, Jand Talo's Lightsaber (I)
- Manufacturer: Jand Talo
- Affiliation: Jand Talo
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: Yes; components and parts can be replaced
- Production: Unique
- Material: Songsteel-plated Durasteel, Kyber crystals, lightsaber components
- Classification: Lightsaber
- Size: Average
- Weight: Light
- Blue Kyber Crystals
- Meditation Crystal
- Phobium Emitter
- Non-Dimetris Circuitry
- Variable Hilt
- Adjustable Focusing Lens
- Can cut through many materials with relative ease, including being resistant to the effects of cortosis due to non-dimetris circuitry
- Attack power with the lightsaber is enhanced, due to the additional weight of the phobium emitter behind strikes
- Meditation crystal allows for closer connection to the Force, allowing its energy to be channeled more effectively in combat
- Variable hilt allows for three distinct lightsaber uses; single blade, double blade or Jar'Kai wielding
- Adjustable focusing lens allows for differing lens utility:
- Dueling Lens: a highly focused blade for providing fine-tuned control over one's lightsaber
- Dragite Lens: a strengthening of the lightsaber beam to increase blade damage
- Kunda Lens: a broader blade that allows increased deflection against blaster bolts
- Lightsaber lacks bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse and is unable to function submerged in water
- Differing weight distribution of phobium emitter isn't typical of more standard designed hilts
- Hilt is made primarily of durasteel, with thin plating of songsteel, which isn't as resistant as solid songsteel hilts
- Adjustable focusing lens for hilts can only activate a single lens at any given time
- Double-bladed function can only have a single lens effect active between both blades
With experience and mechanical aptitude on his side, Jand Talo has taken time to rebuild on his first lightsaber, improving on its original design. All of the previous elements are there, except this time Jand has increased the component and hilt size, to allow for double-bladed combat or Jar'Kai (two blade) combat. The weapon can be used in any of the three configurations of hilt, with each side housing an individual crystal and focusing lens.
The internal systems are more complex than most lightsabers, which include circuitry for a meditation crystal, as well as an adjustable focusing lens on each end. Each lens provides an effect to the emitted blade, depending on the setting chosen (dueling, dragite, kunda), due to hardwired settings of the plasma magnetic field. This complexity remains possible due to Jand's species, the Nagai, who have natural aptitude with complex weapon engineering - and his own experience with fabrication, such as on the Clan Talo Longsword.
It also supports his preference for lightsaber combat with a differing weight distribution by using a phobium emitter; this addition was thanks to experience using one of Jedi Master Valery Noble's own weapons on a mission alongside the Jedi Master. The result is a weapon crafted for Jand's specific needs, which allows some versatility in combat situations, while supplementing his martial prowess with any variation of hilt he uses...
