Description: Its original maker and owner, Siri Tachi, was a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi during his Padawan days. She was known to be highly skilled with a lightsaber and wielded a purple-bladed lightsaber containing hurrikaine crystals until her death on Azure during the Clone Wars to the hands of Magus. Magus not having any interest in Siri's lightsaber, nor did Obi-Wan or Anakin, her body was buried on Azure six feet under according to Dwartii tradition, with a coffin of a special design, where it endured the centuries forgotten by history.
Cathul undertook a dig of the abandoned Republic base after having sensed a Force-presence, while en route to Mandalore, so she decided to stop by Azure to ascertain the nature of the Force-presence on Azure. It turns out that it was the lightsaber of a Jedi knight who died during the Clone Wars She inspected and cleaned the lightsaber, revealing that the lightsaber was filthy and all of its components accumulated dirt over the centuries, but she found it otherwise rather "vanilla" compared to the other lightsabers she knew about: nothing that enhanced her power or her skills could be found in it. Nevertheless, like many lightsabers from that era and later, it had a bifurcating cyclical ignition pulse to allow underwater operation.
