- Model: N/A
- Modularity: No
- Production: Unique
- Material: Molecularly compressed Phrik-A core, unknown metallic outer shell (testing suggests metals restructured to behave like Phrik-A core), leather binding for grip
- Classification: Great Sword
- Size: Extremely Large
- Weight: Extremely Heavy
- Sword is infused with a massive amount of raw force energy, mostly dark side force energy. This allows whomever wields it to be granted basic force abilities including augmenting strength, speed, stamina, and also causing the user to discharge the amount of raw power flowing through in bolts of lightning.
- Sword has been made to be almost indestructible by normal forces with the infusion of the force.
- Sword carries the souls of all that were slain by it, either in the Nether, or in the normal realm when Sergei was brought back by the Mora. This is what gives it the raw power of the force that flows through the blade.
- Sword dimensions are 7' 6" in length (2.3 meters) in total, 3 inches thick (0.07 meters), and about 12 inches wide (0.3 meters) at where the hilt should be. This sword has a handle that is roughly 18 inches long (0.46 meters).
- Nigh Unbreakable: This weapon is made using the base of artificial Phrik that has been molded and accumulated more mass through Sergei's time in the Nether. The weapon in and of itself is a solid alloy now more than anything, but is infused with so much Force energy that breaking it without using the force to do so is going to take a lot.
- Blackest Night: Which leads into the second issue with this blade. This blade has been infused with the very souls it has consumed in the Nether that Sergei has fed it through it destroying whatever he's come across. This thing has an aura of absolute evil, hatred, and pain about it that even non-force users will be able to feel. And the only reason it hasn't consumed his mind along with the rest of those that have died to it, is because his will is that strong and he's got that much pent up rage. This makes attacking this thing with the force also a daunting task as the weapon itself will corrupt those around it without the sufficient will to resist, including force abilities such as Force Light.
- Massive: This weapon is absolutely huge and weighs in at a ridiculous 100 kilograms. Getting hit by it is no small thing, and against most who use melee weapons will find themselves unable to outreach the weapon, even with spears or some lances. And aside from the mental aspect of the blade itself being a collective consciousness that feeds on everything it destroys and rapidly craves more, the sheer weight alone make this weapon normally unwieldy for the average user.
- Utter Madness: This blade has a will of its own that will constantly fight with the user over what they are doing, with it being quite capable of overpowering most mortals with its sheer mental presence and then draining them of every life sustaining force they possess. This means that for those with just enough mental fortitude to keep themselves alive they will become an aspect of rage, instead destroying everything around them to sake the blade's bloodlust and those that are able to keep the blade in check will find themselves constantly on guard. This is because the blade itself needs only a single moment of uncertainty, doubt, or break in mental discipline to take over and overpower a potential user. This makes the blade extremely dangerous not only to those around it, but to those that wield it.
- Force infusion requires direct contact: This is exactly like it sounds. One of the abilities of the blade is to grant its user basic, if immense, force abilities to include speed, strength, stamina and otherwise allowing them to surpass human limitations. This however is only possible if the user is physically touching the blade, as in not wearing anything protective to grab the blade. That means in order to receive the full benefits of the sword, a user must subject themselves to all of the inherent dangers with this blade, including losing their mind and being consumed by the blade. So if you thought you could just wear a protective glove/suit/whatever to allow you to ignore the blade's consciousness and threat to consume your soul, think again. As this weapon only enhances its user when they take every risk, and the more they give into the blade's demands, the stronger they become.
- The Force still hurts: Should users be able to withstand the corruptive auras and be able to command the power of the force at either an exceptional Knight/Master level, you have the ability to dispel the Dark Side aura of this sword. This however will cause the blade to lose all of its abilities permanently, and should it happen will cause the sword to disintegrate down to the base of what it used to be. A single broken short sword. This dispelling of the Dark Side however is a dangerous task in and of itself, as the consciousness will be aware of what you're doing and that means that it can direct its wielder to either terminate the problem or run from it. And I shouldn't have to mention how dangerous it is if this thing is swinging at you and you're alone.
- Not meant for indoors: This thing is absolutely massive. You're not going to be using it in hallways, cramped spaces, or anywhere without lots of room both in the horizontal and vertical planes. At least if you're not a dingus that is.
Among one of the first things discovered with Sergei's reemergence from the Nether, was the massive blade that he carried with him into battle. Or really a massive chunk of metal with some leather-ish looking grip (testing has been unable to determine what exactly the leather came from). One thing was certain though. This sword was a massive threat. After Sergei's recapture and containment pending rehabilitation, the blade was also interred into containment. One of the first things noted by the initial recovery crew was the aura they felt, and after one of them tried to pick it up and summarily what appeared to de-materialize before the crew, they decided to utilize extreme HazMat suits to handle the weapon, and a lifting droid. Initial testing done on the weapon to try and deduce its molecular composition were unsuccessful, in that the material broke every physical attempt or seemed to ignore whatever tool utilized on it to try and acquire a sample. The only thing of note is that the material weighs approximately the same as what molecularly compressed Phrik-A does, however is immensely stronger. Coming to the conclusion that this is from the Force imbuement in the weapon, they decided that it must be contained for now, as while it has either consumed or driven insane every test subject to date, there is one person who had successfully wielded it before.
Sergei Jachovich.
And while the soldier may be reluctant to wield such a weapon, the scientists aboard Hope know that if a threat presents itself that only this blade can answer, that Sergei will do whatever it takes to win. As such it is currently encased in a Synthetic Yorik Coral pod to keep its Force aura and consciousness contained. This is surrounded by several protective coats/layers of FM-001, FM-002, and FM-003, with a hardened outer shell of Phrik-A to ensure the casing isn't damaged. This is locked down and held deep in Hope, a Star Destroyer filled to the brim with the most dangerous, highly trained, and best equipped Commandos, Droids, and crew anywhere in the galaxy. And should they find a threat that requires them to unleash this weapon.
God help them all should Sergei fall a second time.
