However, a Lightfoil may not be wielded two-handed. Many nobles in the Tapani Sector pay huge sums of money to obtain Lightfoils, and for centuries to come the Lightfoil is a favored weapon of Tapani duelists.Ī Lightfoil is delicately balanced and it's wielder may choose to consider it a Small sized weapon whenever it would be beneficial. However, after these Sith are eliminated, mediocre copies of diminished efficacy spring up due to the lack of Force abilities on the part of their makers (See Modern Lightfoil). Up until the Cleansing of the Nine Houses, the quality of Mecrosa Lightfoil construction is on par with Jedi Lightsabers. The combination of these weapons and the graceful Makashi form of Lightsaber combat produces a graceful and deadly fighting style. Assembled in secret by Mecrosa's Sith Knights of the Tapani Sector, each Lightfoil is a work of art. More lightweight and balanced than a Lightsaber, the Lightfoil is wielded with just one hand, as it's petite and elegantly designed handles attest. If the Lightsaber is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age, then this is that age and the Lightfoil is the pinnacle of elegant design.
