Shynsaber

OVERVIEW
Shynsabers are distinctive weapons used mainly by Sha'kea sensitive beings that are part of an official order like the Siinth Order and the Republican Guard, for both melee combat and ceremonial instances.

The weapon consisted of a blade of pure plasma emitted from the hilt and suspended in a shikori containment field. The field contained the immense heat of the plasma, protecting the wielder, and allowed the blade to keep its shape.

The hilt was almost always self-fabricated by the wielder to match his or her specific needs, preferences and style. The hilt was also built similarly to his or her master's korosaber as a mark of respect.

Due to the weightlessness of plasma and the strong gyroscopic effect generated by it, korosabers required a great deal of strength and dexterity to wield, and it was extremely difficult - and dangerous - for the untrained to attempt using. However, in the hands of an expert of the korr'ce, the korosaber was a weapon to be greatly respected and feared.

To wield a korosaber was to demonstrate incredible skill and confidence, as well as masterful dexterity and attunement to the Korr'ce.

Korosabers do not radiate a lot of heat and they also do not expend energy, meaning they could be left on for eternity.

INJURIES
When a korosaber slices through a person, for example, the wound rarely bleeds, and is instead cauterised, preventing blood and other things to excrete from the wound.

CUTTING POWER
The power of the energy blade was so great that it could cut through almost anything, although the speed through which it cut depended on the density of the subject.
