The Lightsaber: The weapon of a Jedi, A Lightsaber can cut through anything, with the exception of another Lightsaber.
For a thousand generations during the reign of the Old Republic, a masterfully and dedicated order know as the Jedi served as the guardians of peace and justice. Spread over a thousand systems, they brought calm and confidence to the citizens of countless worlds. The respect which the Jedi have earned is mainly due to their wisdom, but also in part, due to their masterful use of a weapon they themselves created ........ the Lightsaber. A Lightsaber in the hands of a trained Jedi, is far more powerful, and deadly, than any Blaster.
Constructed by each Jedi as a test of their skills the Lightsaber is the product of an ancient technology. Skillful wielding of the weapon is the hallmark of a fully trained Jedi Knight. A Lightsaber takes many long days to construct, the components have to become one with each other, and at one with the Force. The process takes a Jedi almost a week to complete. However there is a way of speeding up the process to a few hours. This is not recommended for trainee Jedi, as many accidents have occurred with uncontrolled use of the Force."An elegant weapon for a more civilised age"
:- Obi-Wan Kenobi
A Lightsaber is roughly 24-30 centimetres long, the handle made from durasteel. An inner shell contains the massive energies produced, without transmitting any heat to the outer surface. A power cell is located in the handgrip and a Gem focuses the core energy channel into a coherent beam which bends cirumferentially to form a cutting blade. A Lightsaber can only be efficiently wielded after years of extensive training and disciplined use. The use of 3 gems in a Lightsaber gives the wielder an extendable blade. This can often turn the balance of a light-fight when the opponents are evenly matched.
