Sakaros curse

The Sakaros curse was an inside joke (although it was only partly in jest) among members of the Sakaros family and their close associates. It referred to the unusual propensity of members of the clan to lose lightsabers. Victims of the "curse" included:
 * Tak Sakaros: By the time of his death in 139 ABY, at the age of 228, Tak was on his eleventh lightsaber.
 * Khrado Sakaros: Though he died at the age of thirty in 21 ABY, Khrado's lightsaber was cut apart an instant before Khrado himself.
 * Tariun Sakaros: By 143 ABY, aged 142, Tariun was on his eighth and ninth lightsabers (though, given his use of Jar'Kai, he tended to lose them in pairs).
 * Hayden Ragnos-Sakaros: Hayden lost his first lightsaber on a mission and had to build another.
 * Rin Sakaros: By 141 ABY, at the age of 106, Rin was on her fourth lightsaber. She sacrificed the first to kill a  on, lost the second to Seneka Yari on , and dropped the third from a kilometer up while fighting the Abstalian Phoenix.

Marquand Sakaros was the only one of Tak's children who died still using his first weapon; indeed, Marquand's lightsaber passed to Lorelai Whitesun, who used it her entire life as well.
