Fi'lang

Featuring a curved blade with a pointed end, the fi'lang was the traditional combat knife of the reptilian Trogodile species. In the first year of the Clone Wars, the Trogodile Swyy'm-Ee wielded a pair of fi'langs during a gladiatorial match in The Cauldron, a fighting arena on the planet Rattatak. However, Swyy'm-Ee was killed midway through the match by the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress.

Description
The fi'lang was a combat knife with a curved blade that ended at a sharpened point. The fi'lang could be wielded with one hand, and the user could handle a pair of fi'langs at the same time. The weapon's blade was white and light blue, and its hilt was brown.

History
The fi'lang was the traditional weapon of the Trogodiles, a sentient reptilian species. In 22 BBY, the first year of the Clone Wars, the Trogodile Swyy'm-Ee was forced to compete in a gladiatorial match in The Cauldron, a large fighting pit located on the planet Rattatak. During the match, Swyy'm-Ee brandished a pair of fi'langs, and at one point faced off against the fellow competitor Flalios. However, the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress entered the fight midway through, and dropped a large boulder on Swyy'm-Ee using her powers over the Force, killing the Trogodile.

Behind the scenes
The fi'lang first appeared in the sixth chapter of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series, appearing as an unidentified weapon in the chapter's gladiatorial fighting scene. The chapter originally aired on Cartoon Network on November 14, 2003. The weapon was later identified as the fi'lang in the Star Wars: Clone Wars Ultimate Sticker Book, published September 6, 2004.
