Felucian Skullblade

About the Felucian Skullblade

Carved from the bleached bone and chitin of the megafauna that roam Felucia's fungal jungles, the skullblade is a primitive-looking weapon that punches far above its crude appearance. The native Felucians, and the Nightsister-influenced tribes who once fell under Dark Jedi sway there, ground these blades to a wicked edge and hardened them with resins drawn from the planet's toxic flora. Light and quick in the hand, a skullblade favors darting, opportunistic strikes rather than a stand-up duel, slipping through the gaps in an opponent's guard the way a hunter slips through the luminous undergrowth. Offworlders dismiss it as a savage's tool until they feel how fast it moves. In the hands of someone raised to it, the bone edge finds soft targets with unsettling ease, and its exotic shape confounds fighters trained only against conventional steel.
