Bane's Heart (lightsaber)

"The smaller blades give you greater speed and maneuverability&hellip;You will sacrifice reach and leverage, but you will be able to create a shield of impenetrable defense."

- Darth Bane to Zannah

The Sith Lord Darth Zannah created for herself a custom double-bladed lightsaber which she wielded effectively in combat. It was powered by a Synthetic lightsaber crystal dubbed Bane's Heart, bequeathed unto Zannah by her Sith Master, Darth Bane. This unique double-bladed lightsaber had a cylindrical hilt longer than the standard length of similar weapons and twin red blades both shorter than the norm, which allowed Zannah to erect an impenetrable defensive wall through her mastery of Form III: Soresu. Centuries after her death, Zannah's weapon would come into the possession of the Kaleesh General Grievous, and later still the combat droid N-K Necrosis.
