Khrado Ragnos's lightsaber

Khrado Ragnos's lightsaber was the personal weapon of the Khrado Ragnos, constructed by him around the year 100 BBY at the instruction of his master and many-times-great-grandfather. Following his death, it passed to many different owners, eventually becoming something of a family heirloom.

Specifications
Forced to scrounge for parts on, 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. While examining ruins of the near, he found the long-decayed corpse of a  warrior, and stripped the body of its distinctive. To his delight, Khrado found that the armor was composed with pieces of. Melting it down, he went through several failed attempts to properly forge a casing before, with the aid of, he finally hit the correct metallurgical mix and forged a nearly-indestructible casing for his weapon.

Unlike most Sith lightsabers, Ragnos's used an actual red jewel, not a substitute. He had broken into his ancestor Marka's tomb and stolen one of the red jewels from the late Dark Lord's sarcophagus.

The hilt was 32 centimeters long, slightly above average length to account for embellishments and Ragnos's preference for a slightly wider grip. The was ringed by four razor-sharp prongs, and the  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. Though the Mandalorian iron shell was not particularly heavy, Ragnos gave the hilt extra ballast to give it a slightly heavier feel.

The lightsaber was not initially designed to function underwater, as none of the diagrams or schematics Ragnos had included such a design. Tak Sakaros added a some time around 30 ABY, when he was living on. He added a natural white crystal to keep the weapon's natural design, instead of a synthetic red one.

Ragnos's lightsaber had an adjustable blade. It could be dialed down to .2 meters or extended to two full meters. Though the dial could adjust the blade length in .1 meter increments, the lightsaber also had a switch which could instantly extend it from one to two meters.

History and owners
After creating his weapon, Khrado Ragnos used it through his entire life, slaying numerous sentient beings with it, including several. He carried the weapon to his ill-fated duel with and  in 18 BBY, where he was killed by the two Sith Lords.

Palpatine took the lightsaber, along with Ragnos's Sith helmet, and stored them at his private repository in on. There they remained until some time after the failure of the in 9 ABY. Once the existence of Mount Tantiss became (comparatively) public knowledge, Ragnos's former apprentice Tak Sakaros broke into the facility and stole the lightsaber and helmet back.

Sakaros placed the helmet in a tomb for his blood-brother on Korriban, but kept the lightsaber for himself, using it as his primary weapon until the 30s ABY, when he built a, which better allowed him to alternate between and , although he continued to use both weapons in.

When Tak found his grand-niece Andromeda Keane, Khrado Ragnos's granddaughter, he gave her the lightsaber, as he felt it was rightfully hers. Though trained in the Sith ways, Andromeda did not commit to the dark side and felt uncomfortable wielding the blade. Due to its weight, she also felt it was too heavy for her. Instead, she built a different weapon for herself, but kept her grandfather's lightsaber as a family heirloom for the rest of her life.

In 141 ABY, Andromeda died and passed the lightsaber on to her own grandson, Jarek Solios. Though strong enough to use it properly, Jarek also felt uncomfortable with the weapon, which was obviously designed for extensive killing. It was a less-than-perfect match for his own, and Jarek struggled enough with his heritage as it was. After some reflection, he opted to keep his own lightsaber, continuing to preserve the Ragnos blade as an heirloom while he pondered to whom he should eventually bequeath it.
