And with that, he looks for a few more swords for Tirin to try out.
The first is another sword of the furry people from the jungle planet; carved from the rare nak'tra crystal, these blades are usually made by an ethnic group living in the Myyydril Caverns. The Nak'tra crystal is usually more famous for its use in blaster technology, which splits the beam into a cloud of rippling energy that expands as it travels. Unfortunately, this property is not very useful in the bladed weapon form.
The second is a scimitar of very peculiar design; its odd curving shape makes it difficult to wield without hurting oneself unless the wielder is familiar with the Geonosian martial-art form of Petranaki. Practitioners of this combat form are trained in the use of five weapons, and it is usually used in the bloody gladiatorial death sports of their homeworld.
The third looks like a curved hybrid of sword and dagger, a menacing slicing weapon known as the darkstick. It is used by the inhabitants of the planet Kerest to hunt the large animals residing at the world's equator. According to the native's most prominent religion, the afterlife is a place of darkness and despair. Wielders of these blades show their embracement of this fate by activating the light-absorbers that line the blade. When activated, an unnatural field of darkness is created in a two meter in diameter sphere of darkness. This efficiency blinds enemies engaged in melee with the wielder. To prevent themselves from also going blind, wielders usually wear infrared goggles.
