Sith lanvarok

About 4,000 years before the formation of the Empire, the Sith Empire was waging war on the Old Republic. The Sith used a great variety of weapons in their campaign of evil. Among these weapons, is the Sith lanvarok. A Sith's lanvarok is a wrist-mounted (typically made for the right or left hand only, not both) projectile launcher. The device flings a number of thin, but solid metal discs in a "spray" toward a target. Though not especially accurate, the flurry of discs can at least cause enough of a distraction to leave the target open to a follow-up attack. Due to the lanvarok's exceptionally long reload time, it is best used for delivering a one-shot "suprise" attack. To counter its lack of accuracy, a Dark Jedi can use the Force to guide the discs to their targets, turning the lanvarok into an incredibly deadly weapon. Ancient legends suggest its origins as an effective hunting tool. Massassi warriors developed their own, more primative version of the lanvarok that resembled a battle axe and could be used as such. Though quite common during the days of the Great Sith War, lanvaroks became extremely difficult to aquire after the rise of Darth Bane. Most lanvaroks are now sold only as antique collector's items. However, a small number of Sith holocrons contain detailed instuctions for those eager enough to build their own.
