SPECIAL FEATURES
Having all of the basic features of a spear, this weapon separates itself from the rest by being lightsaber resistant, making it a good choice against lightsaber wielding enemies.
Strengths:
Lightsaber resistant - Thanks to the spear being made with Songsteel, this weapon won't be cut in half when struck with a lightsaber, making it effective against lightsaber wielding foes.
Armour piercing - Apart from it's anti-lightsaber purpose, it also has been created with armour wearing foes in mind. It's sharp tip can easily pierce average armour if the spear is thrust with a bit of strength. Any armour sturdier than 'average' can not be penetrated at all, no matter the amount of strength the wielder puts in their thrust.
Weaknesses:
Mastery - Because of the long shape of the spear, it is quite hard to truly master using the weapon, as it is quite common for inexperienced users to hit themselves with the other end of the spear during an attack, which can end up leaving them vulnerable.
The Cheap Variant - While the spear is designed with a basic lightsaber in mind, it falls flat on a number of points. The spear is unable to deflect blasterbolts, doesn't cut through objects, and is generally weaker than a lightsaber in almost any way. While it is lightsaber resistant, because it is not made out of Songsteel alone, if one were to smash the spear and a lightsaber into each other for a few minutes without stopping, the spear would be the one that would eventually break. The spear is able to be repaired between fights, but to do so time and proper materials are needed.
DESCRIPTION
During her search to find one of her old instructors, Abigail found herself trapped in an old training facility without a weapon. She stole a basic spear that once belonged to a man long forgotten, put on display in one of the rooms. After having fought her way out of the facility, barely escaping with her life, Abigail was impressed by the spear's design and it's potential effectiveness on the battlefield. The only problem it had was that it stood no chance against lightsabers at all, which pushed Abigail towards enhancing the weapon with Songsteel, perfecting it as much as she could to be used in modern combat.
