Raven opted for a shoto lightsaber as a more discreet and flexible weapon for her black ops missions. Equipped with the basic activation switch, blade locking mechanism, and belt clip, lack of additional modifications have facilitated the hilt’s slim and compact design. Bypassing customization, the all-black, "faceless" and short hilt draws little attention to itself, along with the neutral white blade color, making it easier for Raven to conceal and carry. With a 6-inch hilt and 18-inch blade, it's hardly an imposing weapon on the battlefield, but a useful cutting (or interrogating) tool that comes handy in a pinch when confronted in close quarters, relying on agility to deflect bolt and blade for a speedy getaway.
