Phaseblade

"This is a phaseblade, our ancestors created these weapons to counter the lightsabers of our enemies in the Jedi and Sith Orders. Take note that these are nothing like your typical beskads or vibroblades; failure to handle these properly will cost you dearly."

- Kal Skirata to his warriors

Phaseblades were a type of sword with a fixed, edged blade that emitted a plasma field surrounding the blade. While some Jedi were known to use phaseblades, these weapons were not considered traditional among Force-users as was the case with lightsabers, and instead were commonly used by mercenaries, pirates, and local warriors. The first phaseblades were developed by the Mandalorians sometime during the New Sith Wars, which were used by some Mandalorian warriors as an effective counterpart to the lightsabers of the Jedi and Sith. Mandalorian phaseblades typically had blades made of beskar and emitted a yellow-colored plasma field. Naastau, a Mandalorian Supercommando, owned a unique phaseblade that he captured during a treasure hunting mission on Dathomir.
