Darksaber

"This lightsaber was stolen from your Jedi Temple by my ancestors during the fall of the Old Republic. Since then many Jedi have died upon its blade. Prepare yourself to join them!"

- Pre Vizsla to Obi-Wan Kenobi

The darksaber was an ancient, black-bladed lightsaber. The weapon once belonged to the Jedi Order, but was stolen by the Mandalorians in a conflict with the Jedi during the fall of the Old Republic. The Darksaber was passed down, generation to generation, by the ancestors of Pre Vizsla, who held onto the weapon even after the pacifist ideals of the New Mandalorians replaced the warrior ways of Mandalore. The last known Mandalorian to own the blade was Pre Vizsla, the leader of Death Watch during the Clone Wars. He used the blade during his conflicts with the New Mandalorians, including his successful coup of Mandalore. After the coup, Darth Maul killed Vizsla and took the darksaber as his own, becoming the leader of Death Watch. Darth Sidious arrived on Mandalore to supress his former (now rogue) apprentice. Darth Sidious Imprisoned Maul and took the Darksaber to Stygeon Prime who was later freed by the Death Watch and reclaimed the Darksaber on Zanbar. Grievous lead an attack on Darth Maul and battled him and forced Maul to retreat. Darth Maul arrived on Ord Mantell and devised a plan to capture both Dooku and Grievous. Maul succeeded, however Grievous escaped and Maul's base was attacked by the Galactic Republic forces and Maul joined forces with Dooku to fend off the Republic. Confronted by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Tiplee Maul and Dooku battled the two Jedi and killed Tiplee. However the remaining Death Watch Forces were taken prisoner and both Dooku and Maul retreated to Dathomir and dueled both Grievous and Sidious, with Dooku being possessed by Mother Talzin. Maul lost the battle and was forced to escape with his remaining Death Watch members.

Some time after the Galactic Empire rose to power, Sabine Wren managed to acquire the saber.
