DESCRIPTION
Azel Moran rediscovered the legendary Sword of Khashyun and decided to make it again, but better. The original weapon had been split in two, radically reducing its structural integrity and handling characteristics no matter what alchemical latches bound the pieces together. The weapon was also reputed to be cursed to instigate betrayal - not an ideal quality. And last but not least, the sword had terrible balance as anything but a Dowutin-scale two-edged cleaver.
Fortunately, Moran knew some folks who had a use for weapons like that, sans curse. He forged a few exact replicas for the Catharian Hegemony, notorious for their use of power armor. For a loyal servant of the Hegemony, the Swords of Khashyun aren't big cumbersome things. They're proportionate weapons capable of shearing through enemy armor without dulling or breaking - and symbols of the Hegemony's indomitable will.
Last but not least, Moran put his own spin on the original curse. Every time a blade's owner wins a traditional Sith kaggath challenge, their power in the Force will increase somewhat, so long as they keep the sword nearby.
