Lightfoil
this form of dueling weapon was popular in Tapani Sector. It was modeled after the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights, but was much smaller and not as powerful or energy-efficient as the Jedi weapon. However, they were just as dangerous. The original lightfoils were formed after a cache of lightsabers were found in the holding of House Pelagia several years after the Jedi Purge. They became popular among young nobles, but Emperor Palpatine soon learned of their existence. He sent his Dark Side Adepts to confiscate the blades, but not before the basic technology was copied and used to create lightfoils. A separate social structure emerged in Tapani Sector because of the formal rivalries between houses, known as the Saber Rakes.
