PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Vibroblade Whip
  • Size: Large
    • Length: 1.5-4.3 m
  • Weight: Average
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Diagnostic Chip - Diagnostic system runs automatic maintenance checks on the whip and is able to identify parts, systems, and components in need of repair or replacement.
    • Electronics and Communications Suite - Integrated electronics and communication suite that links to virtually any system, allowing the wielder to obtain hard data from the whip’s systems, such as running temperatures, stability, diagnostic information, Etc.
  • Neural Link - Phaelissia can interface with the whip via neural link, allowing her to control the weapon via thought.
  • Electromagnetic Containment Field Projector - Generates an electromagnetic containment field akin to that used in lightsabers, so as to hold the outputted heat against the blades, thereby preventing dangerous, excess heat radiance which might otherwise harm the wielder. In turn, this field will automatically decrease its strength upon impact with a given target, so as to better radiate its heat and thereby, increase the potential for damage.
  • Thermal Generation System - Heats the blades up to temperatures in excess of four thousand degrees centigrade in a Type I atmosphere.
  • Thermal Conversion System - Recycles spare heat into energy which is then fed back into the diatium power cell, allowing it to last almost indefinitely.
  • Mono-Molecular Edge - Each of the blades has edges honed to a single molecule of thickness. Thus, the edges are extremely, surgically sharp, increasing potential cutting performance.
  • Svolten Rhyolite Treatment - Prevents the blades from undergoing fusion under the extreme heat generated by thermal generator, the treatment also allows the blades to retain their integrity and cutting power even after sustaining hard impacts with the blade of a lightsaber or with especially dense materials.
  • Trapped Grip - Controlled by an integrated biometric authentication access control system which allows only the designated wielder and anyone she permits to activate and wield the whip. The hilt will discharge a potent electrical energy field in the event that the weapon is handled by an unauthorized agent, with the potential to cause severe burn injuries to the victim.
  • Collapsing Mirrors Retraction System - The blades can collapse within the hilt of the weapon via molecular disruptor mirror cells for safe and easy storage.
    • Adjustable Whip Length - The collapsing mirrors also allow the length of the whip to be adjusted on the fly, ranging from a minimum of 1.5 meters to a maximum length of 4.3 meters.
  • Ultrasonic Vibration Generator - A high-grade vibration generator, the ultrasonic vibration generator causes the blades to vibrate with extreme speed and force, giving the weapon the ability to tear through flesh, hard organic carapace, thick stone, and heavy alloys the likes of durasteel, titanium, and beskar. In addition, the blades have the potential to inflict devastating, eviscerating wounds and possibly even dismember, with only a touch.
  • Sound Dampening System - The Purifying Lash has an integrated sound damper that renders the weapon completely silent, making it ideal for stealth applications.
  • Resilient Construction - Owing to its resilient construction, the whip is very resistant to lightsabers, vibroblades, and energy weapons.
  • Secondary Blade - A secondary curved blade on the back of the hilt allows the hilt itself to be utilized as a dagger in close quarters. This blade has all the features of the main blades on the whip.
STRENGTHS
  • Void Lash - The synthetic Void Stone integrated into the Purifying Lash makes it extremely difficult to detect or counter via the Force. However, since only a minute amount of the material was incorporated into the weapon, its effects are largely negligible in disrupting a Force-sensitive individual's overall connection to the Force. The radius of Force disruption is only just wide enough to cover the whip itself, thereby protecting the Purifying Lash from the Force. Furthermore, the integrated sound damper quiets the report of the ultrasonic vibration generator and any other sounds produced by the weapon, making it excellent for stealth attacks.
  • Steam Render - Using a combination of searing heat and microscopic vibrations to impart damage, the combination of these effects has the potential to inflict outright explosive damage on targets by simultaneously superheating and ripping them apart.
  • Flexible Attack - The flexible nature of the Purifying Lash allows the weapon to potentially bypass or circumvent many conventional defensive strategies and techniques that might otherwise be effective when employed against standard lightsabers or blades.
  • Iron Bane - The heat-resistant dallorian alloy blades are alloyed with beskar. Thus, the blades have the ability to penetrate beskar and equivalent materials, not only due to the searing heat imparted by the blades, but also due to the vibratory force behind them and their sharp mono-molecular edges.
WEAKNESSES
  • Poor Defense - Due to its flexible construction, the Purifying Lash is difficult (but not outright impossible) to use in defensive techniques such as blaster bolt deflection. The weapon is also ill-suited to blocking incoming melee attacks.
  • Tight Quarters - Due to its length and the sweeping movements that are often needed to wield it, The Purifying Lash may suffer in tight quarters.
  • Circumvented - Indirect applications of the Force (such as using the Force to generate bursts of pressurized air) may still be effective in defending against the Purifying Lash, as the internal Void Stone is generally only capable of defending against direct applications of the Force.
  • Energy Shields - Particle-based energy shields are capable of blocking a strike from the Purifying Lash.
DESCRIPTION
Created for Phaelissia as a testament of her favor with Darth Carnifex, the Purifying Lash is a vibroweapon that combines ultrasonic vibration and thermal technology in the platform of a bladed whip. Its blades are an alloy of dallorian alloy and beskar, giving the weapon extreme heat and energy resistance that allows them to be heated up to temperatures in excess of four thousand degrees centigrade in a Type I atmosphere. With such extreme heat, the blades are capable of bringing more than two barrels worth of water to a steaming boil in an instant. In this regard, the blades can do much the same against organic targets (whose bodies are often made up of a high percentage of water). Even against heat-resistant materials, it can compromise their integrity by superheating them to such an extent that the vibrating blades may shear through them with frightening efficiency, in the manner of a hot vibroknife through melted butter.

In spite of this power, the Purifying Lash is not without weaknesses and limitations. As a whip, it is not well-suited for defense, such as a vibroblade or a lightsaber. It also demands a great deal of skill to wield. Otherwise, the wielder might accidentally shear through herself or an ally. In addition, the weapon can be countered with particle-based energy shields or energy shields capable of blocking kinetic attacks.

And yet, even with these limitations, the Purifying Lash is a terrifying, searing instrument of retribution and immolation. It is a hyper-advanced, yet sacred armament wielded by one of the most lethal, dangerous Cipher Agents of the Kainate Saaraishash, meant to be leveled against any who might seek to oppose or destroy the Eclipsing Mission and the Will of the Eternal Father.
