Xanah and Lex (Retired Version)

"Do not be so quick to judge, Jedi. Had I had the gift of shaping my own destiny, these weapons would not be mine and, besides, it's more fun to ensnare one's prey while they can still know pleasure. There is nothing endearing about a corpse."
-- Sezra

Weapons forged for the late Sith warrior, Marjahn, they were presented as gifts to his lover and secret apprentice, Sezra, merely months before her betrayal. Although little is known about them both, it was touched upon lightly in Kaen Fey's report that the blade Sezra wielded was a vibroweapon she favoured above her lightsaber, using its exotic nature to catch the formidable Jedi Master off guard when he first confronted her deep within her sanctuary after defeating all of her so-called 'harpy' followers. Sezra's unorthodox fighting style used the blade's cortosis-weave properties to quickly disarm the Jedi and in the chaos tried to seduce him from his mission. It was never known exactly what became of her despite Kaen's remark that he was able to resist her charms and fought on with the Force to overwhelm her on Haedyr IV, although rumours are Kaen allowed Sezra to escape and did not include said fact when he relayed his findings to the Jedi Council.

As for Sezra's vibroblade, rumour is it was sent to the Jedi Council as evidence of Kaen's deeds in defeating the secret sect of Sith females. It remained an item of study in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for years before its eventual sacking in 3,653 BBY. Its current whereabouts are unknown, although it is safe to assume it was taken as a spoiler of war back to the Sith Empire for someone's perusal. There have been no known records or enquiries about its existence ever since.


So, I'm one step closer to drawing that Sith Orion that was the winning choice for an earlier poll. Yet the latest poll asked what weapons she preferred at her side, so the exotic cortosis-weave blade won out and I'll admit that I'm not happy with this work by a long shot. I actually kind of feel ashamed that I could not design something better. Sure, I don't mind what I did with the lightsaber, although the blade itself... expect an update to this eventually. Meh, meh, MEH.
