The Lightdagger is a small and specialized lightsaber variant, much shorter than a traditional lightsaber and even shorter than the shoto lightsaber. Traditional lightsaber components have been downsized greatly into a small hilt, and produces a blade a maximum of twelve inches long powered by crystals that determine its characteristics and color. While it lacks the reach of a traditional lightsaber, the smaller hilt is much easier to conceal and shorter blade quicker to maneuver. It is capable of cutting through virtually anything, including blast doors, given enough time.
