Prototype vibroblade

Prototype vibroblades were used by specially trained Sith commandos aboard Dark Lord of the Sith Revan's flagship during his capture by the Jedi in 3957 BBY, during the Jedi Civil War between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. Later, a commander serving in the Sith military used a prototype vibroblade during the attack on the Republic Hammerhead-class cruiser Endar Spire above the Outer Rim planet Taris in 3956 BBY. The commander was killed by Revan, by then an amnesiac and possessing the memories of a Republic soldier, during his escape from the cruiser.

The prototype vibroblade was a cheap Cortosis-weave blade, costing eighty credits, and made to be adaptable and upgradeable as funds became available to the user. The weapon was capable of withstanding a lightsaber and could be upgraded with a vibration cell, an energy projector, and a coating of durasteel bonding alloy.
