- Inscription found on an ancient lanvarok

Massassi warriors used a more primitive version of the lanvarok than the rest of their species: a two-handed polearm that required brute strength rather than mechanical action or the Force to launch the same discs fired by a Sith lanvarok. After its disks were launched, the polearm itself could be used as a battle axe.

Description
An exotic weapon when not in the hands of those for whom it was specialized, the Massassi lanvarok was one of two lanvarok variants: the Sith lanvarok, and the Massassi counterpart. Details on the construction and design of Massassi lanvaroks could be found in Sith holocrons. Unlike the Sith lanvarok, however, the Massassi variant was considered to be more primitive.

History
Like the Sith lanvarok, the Massassi lanvarok was an ancient weapon, designed in early Sith history for the left-handed tendencies of the Sith people. As the name suggests, the Massassi lanvarok was unique to the Massassi Sith subspecies. According to ancient Sith legend, the lanvarok was originally designed with the intention of being used as a hunting weapon.
