Parang

A parang was a heavy-bladed weapon, sometimes made of glass, which was used by various sects of ancient Sith. Its main advantage was that it could be thrown at an enemy and returned to the thrower, similar to a boomerang.

Originally, the curved blade of the parang was used as a gardening tool to cut away undergrowth, but it later became used as a weapon among the Sith Order. Originally, the weapon was used by the ancient Sith Purebloods.

It was reminiscent of the weapons carried by the Royale Macheteros of the Kashi Mer Dynasty.
