Anija Betna
Retired Character
Image Source: Found here. I created this blade via SecondLife and photographed it.
Intent: To create a melee weapon for Anija.
Development Thread: If needed.
Manufacturer: Mandal Hypernautics; Mythosaur Munitions
Model: Strill Claw Beskad
Affiliation: Mandalorians; [member="Anija Ordo"] ; Mandalorian Protectors
Modularity: No
Production: Minor
Material: Beskar blade, Bantha-hide leather and ribbed mesh material for the grip.
Description: While in the midst of constructing her beskar'gam, Anija sought to create a melee weapon for herself. She was quite adept with ranged weapons, but as past events demonstrated, her weak area was with melee. To this end, she has been working extensively with [member="Arrbi Betna"] to hone her close combat skills.
The Strill Claw Beskad was designed by Anija, with input and forging assistance from Arrbi Betna. It is primarily designed as a two-handed weapon, and more of the hack and slash variety than some other swords (think Machete). The metal runs the full length of the blade, and the 'handle' consists merely of Bantha hide and a mesh grip material wrapped around the handle portion of the weapon and secured.
