All of the freighters in the celebration store were 540,000 so I went with that cost, a 135,000 increase over the original model. The name comes from being used by 'Supreme Leader' Kylo Ren. Wording and style inspired by https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/item_prototypes/yt-1300-smuggler-edition-light-freighter.
The artwork is my own, but was not created for this competition and is a component of an image that can be found here https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/File:Harbinger.png

“Survivor Edition” Split-saber
Category

Type
Weapon (Lightsaber)
Size
2 slots
Rarity
Epic
Base price
45,000
Description
The “Survivor Edition” Split-saber is a variant of the lightsaber weapon. Based on a paired lightsaber design developed by Cal Kestis during his years fighting the Empire, it is made up of a larger standard-size lightsaber hilt and a thinner shoto hilt, which connect at the pommels with a unique coupling mechanism. For storage, the shoto hilt can telescope inside the larger standard hilt. While connected to the standard hilt, the shoto hilt can emit a full-length blade but otherwise shortens while detached. This allows a user to combine the hilts into a double-bladed lightsaber configuration or detach the standard hilt from the shoto to use a single blade, as well as dual-wield the shoto in the off-hand. Lightsaber blades are powered by crystals in the hilt that determine their characteristics and color. These blades are capable of cutting through virtually anything, including blast doors, given enough time.
