Ronto Blade Mark II

The Ronto Blade Mark II was a sword developed by Czerka Corporation, and the second in the Ronto Blade series.

The Mark II stayed true to it's predecessor, large and powerful, a weapon made for hunting. However this time, Czerka decided to make this version lighter, as the Mark I was overweight and hard to carry.

This version of the Ronto Blade was made so it was smaller, about half the size as a Mark I was. This made it the size about 2 vibroblades.

The sword also featured a poison-coat, as the Mark I did. Czerka also released several upgrades for the Mark II. (see below)

History
Due to the failure of the Mark I, the Mark II was mainly ignored by the public. However, many Bounty Hunters had bought them for assassination uses, as the Mark I also succeeded in that area.

The Mark II was almost taken out of production. However, Czerka released upgrades for the sword, that were attachable and detatchable. The sword was then praised by critics for the usefullness of the Mark II with attachments. The sword continued to be produced even after the release of the Mark III, and the attachment portion then paved the way for Czerka's next project: the Convertable Battle Sword.

Upgrades
Czerka released several upgrades that could only be applied to a Ronto Blade Mark II. A couple of Third Party Companies also released upgrades for the Mark II. The following is a list of upgrades that were available:

Czerka

 * Sharpened Attachment - This attachment could be placed on any part of the blade, and when a target was struck in the particular spot, it would be a deeper and more painful cut.
 * Droid-Wielding Protocols - This wasn't as much of an upgrade for the sword as much as it was for a Droid. This allowed a droid to wield a Mark II.
 * Electricity Augument - This gave a electrical shock to anyone who is struck with the blade.
 * Fire Augument - This gave a burning sensation to anyone who is struck with the blade.

Third-Party

 * Enhanced Poison - Only available through the Black Market, this adds a Dioxis Gas to the Poison Coat, making it much more painful to who is struck.
 * Bludgeoning - Meant for bludgeoning another being to knock them unconscious.
