- Image Source: Gallery
- Canon Link: None
- Permissions: None
- Primary Source: None
- Manufacturer: The Dire Wolves Paramilitary Organization
- Affiliation: The Dire Wolves Paramilitary Organization, Closed-Market
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: You want a fancy scabbard? Because that's about it.
- Production: Minor
- Material: Phrik-A with a simple polymer and leather grip, blade has been treated with Synthetic Yorik Coral for corrosion resistance and as an anti-force tampering measure.
- Classification: Sword
- Size: Average
- Weight: Heavy
- Entire construction of the blade from the tip to the pommel is a solid piece of reinforced heavily heat treated Phrik-A that's been hammered and compressed to the point where it's even stronger than normal Phrik. This compression is due to the literal molecules and molecular bonds having been reinforced in temperatures that make these swords almost indestructible.
- Handle has a polymer/leather grip to ensure good grip of the sword and make it able to be held in a single hand effectively even in power armor.
- A low tech solution for a fight: This sword is simply Phrik-A that's been condensed and hardened as much as physically possible. Because of the exceptional hardness and strength of the blade, it doesn't lose sharpness very easily. This makes it excellent in combat especially against lightsabers due to its ridiculous strength. And with a coating of Synthetic Yorik Coral...... yeah fancy force powers won't do anything to the blade either. Which means it will force your enemy to rely on their skill with a sword in a fight to actually fight you.
- It's stupid low tech: There's no vibration thingamajigger in this sword. It's just really sharp really hard metal. And unlike vibro-blades it can't just magically cut through most materials. So you best be strong son.
In the aftermath of losing well over half of his company and friends in a single battle, Sergei once he got back on his feet would need an outlet for his rage. And he would find that outlet in the Surric System aboard The Forge of Gods. He would begin working with his hands to make the very first blade of many, a blade forged in the ways of old with new technologies to make the old ways so much more effective. He would take the traditional Phrik-A used by the station and begin working the metal, shaping into a sword before begin the process of heat treating the metal and forging it through repeated processes of super heating and hammering on the metal with an automatic hydraulic hammer. Many scientists would come to watch the man work as he embraced his roots and continued working the metal, making the original material thinner, denser, and more strong with each treatment. He would pour his rage, his hate, and all of his malice for the wrongs done into these weapons. His roars of anger as he would be unsatisfied with the press and so grab a hammer and don his power armor to work the forge himself to hammer the metal into proper form. After a week of non-stop beating and hammering and treating the metal it was finished. A Phrik-A blade that was far denser, far stronger than even normal Phrik. He finished the blade by wrapping the hilt in first a polymer mesh with leather on top of it to ensure that the grip was always sure, even in his armor. And now this sword would be Sergei's vengeance given form.
