Though the dial could adjust the blade length in. Ragnos's lightsaber had an adjustable blade. He added a natural white crystal to keep the weapon's natural design, instead of a synthetic red one. Tak Sakaros added a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse some time around 30 ABY, when he was living on Naboo. The lightsaber was not initially designed to function underwater, as none of the diagrams or schematics Ragnos had included such a design. Though the Mandalorian iron shell was not particularly heavy, Ragnos gave the hilt extra ballast to give it a slightly heavier feel.

The emitter was ringed by four razor-sharp prongs, and the pommel had a long spike sticking out from the bottom Ragnos preferred his weapon to be lethal even when deactivated, and did occasionally bludgeon people to death with the pommel spike. The hilt was 32 centimeters long, slightly above average length to account for embellishments and Ragnos's preference for a slightly wider grip. He had broken into his ancestor Marka's tomb and stolen one of the red jewels from the late Dark Lord's sarcophagus. Unlike most Sith lightsabers, Ragnos's used an actual red jewel, not a synthetic substitute. Melting it down, he went through several failed attempts to properly forge a casing before, with the aid of Sith alchemy, he finally hit the correct metallurgical mix and forged a nearly-indestructible casing for his weapon. To his delight, Khrado found that the armor was composed with pieces of Mandalorian iron. While examining ruins of the Sith Academy near Dreshdae, he found the long-decayed corpse of a Mandalorian warrior, and stripped the body of its distinctive armor. Following his death, it passed to many different owners, eventually becoming something of a family heirloom.įorced to scrounge for parts on Korriban, a young Khrado Ragnos built his lightsaber out of the spare materials he could find, but he took the project seriously, investing the time to find parts he wanted. Khrado Ragnos's lightsaber was the personal weapon of the Dark Lord of the Sith Khrado Ragnos, constructed by him around the year 100 BBY at the instruction of his master and many-times-great-grandfather Marka Ragnos.
