Ludo Kressh's War Sword was a Sith war sword used by Sith Lord Ludo Kressh during the Great Hyperspace War.

Like many Sith of his time, the Sith Lord Ludo Kressh preferred the more visceral feel of a traditional metal blade, over the Sith lightsabers that were becoming popular among his brethren. His blade was very similar to other Sith war swords of the time, but was strongly infused with dark side energy using Sith alchemy. This blade was used against Naga Sadow while the two disputed who was to be the next Dark Lord of the Sith. Later, once again during an argument with Naga Sadow over who was more qualified to be the next Dark Lord of the Sith, he slammed his sword upon the ground and destroyed the nearly-indestructible weapon as a show of his disapproval.
