The Dark Sword of H'skych is an intricately crafted Sword whose short blade was hewn from the purest volcanic obsidian vomited from the deepest depths of K'hamar'a, with a series of esoteric runes trailing down the length of its flat. By lost techniques, the sword has been imbued with the Dark Side using Sith Alchemy. Once drawn from a sheath, the surface of the blade is enveloped with Force Lightning, making it a formidible weapon that has not weakened despite its great age. It is supremely sharp, enabling it to effortlessly pierce any substance softer than durasteel alloy, and can withstand contact with a lightsaber for up to two seconds without melting. Any opponent wounded with the sword suffers greatly, taking several days of focused medical attention to be closed. Bleeding may stop in time, but the wound remains open and the pain is crippling to those subjected to its bite. The Dark Sword of H'skych is typically granted to members based on merit, such as excellent performance in a large scale conflict.
