Sith Lanvarok

About the Sith Lanvarok

The lanvarok is an ancient Sith weapon, a relic of the old Sith species and their war-priests from an age long before lightsabers dominated. Worn strapped to the forearm, it uses a spinning mechanism to hurl a spray of metal discs or shards at a target, a scatter of shrapnel meant to shred flesh at a distance. In its oldest forms it was as much a ceremonial mark of a Sith warrior's rank as a practical arm, and the discs were sometimes edged with materials keyed to the dark side. By the eras most spacers know, genuine lanvaroks survive mostly as museum pieces and cult heirlooms, their mechanisms fragile and their ammunition rare. In use, it favors the ambush and the opening volley over sustained fire, a burst of ancient malice flung from the wrist.
