The lightsaber owned by Darth Bane is as intrinsic as the forceful personality of Darth Bane itself. For the majority of his career, Darth Bane used his lightsaber as his primary weapon. Darth Bane was handed a peculiar hooked or ” curved ” lightsaber by his instructor on Korriban. Darth Bane’s lightsaber is the most personal who helped him in all the resounding occasions of his life.

Kas’im, his lightsaber mentor, had bestowed him the weapon, which he had seized from his own master after murdering him. When Darth Bane first gave the weapon, the single blade had a dark red tint, but Bane later replaced the genuine crystal for a synthetic-crystal rendered by Qordis, resulting in a crimson blade. This lightsaber suited Bane’s physically intimidating fighting technique.

Whilst Na’daz was a great duelist who was well-versed in many lightsabers’ modifications for-instance saberstaffs, he preferred a more traditional style for his own unique weapon. When Darth Bane first received the weapon, the single bladed lightsaber was a dark red tint, but Bane later replaced the genuine crystal with a synthetic crystal given by Sith Lord Qordis, resulting in a crimson blade.

Lightsaber of Darth Bane

Qordis (Sith Lord) asserted that the crystal he delivered was more energetic than Jedi’s crystals as well as, to the one that previously powered the lightsaber. Later, Darth Cognus noticed the lightsaber’s blade was completely weightless when she took it for herself.

History

First Owner of Bane’s Lightsaber

This lightsaber was originally owned by Kas’im, who was the master of Darth Bane. Beyond Na’daz’s ownership, the genesis of this lightsaber is unclear, despite the fact that he had handled it for a period of nearly two decades. Kas’im recalled his master training with the weapon as one of his earliest recollections. The weapon was eventually used at odds with Kas’im when the trainee dared to defy the master, as was Sith custom. Kas’im triumphed and took the sword as a prize.

From Where Darth Bane Got His Lightsaber 

Kas’im kept the lightsaber for a period of ten years before giving it to his greatest pupil. Kas’im believed Bane had proven himself worthy by defeating the academy’s finest pupil, Sirak, in a brutal sparring bout. He bestowed his weapon as a gift to Bane at the Korriban academy, where Kas’im was serving as a teacher. Bane spent many hours practicing with the weapon after Kas’im gave him some pointers on how to use it before grudgingly going to bed.

Bane dashed over the Korriban wastelands to the Valley of the Dark Lords to examine the tombs after a clash with the academy principal. Bane was ambushed by a group of Tuk’ata near the end of his trip. When they regrouped and came on again, he was compelled to pull out his new lightsaber after repelling the initial onslaught with the Force. Out of twelve people only four managed to survive. Afterwards, Bane was quickly recalled to the academy.

He was approached by Githany, one of his secret professors and a prospective romantic partner, when he had recovered from his adventure. She took Bane’s lightsaber and led him to the school annals, where he was attacked by Sirak and his henchmen, who were collaborating with Githany. Githany, on the other hand, proved herself to be a dual agent, collaborating with Bane to assassinate Sirak and retrieve his lightsaber. Against Sirak’s three saberstaffs and his two companions, Bane brandished his weapon apace with Githany.

Sirak’s friends were quickly defeated, and he offered to surrender after realizing he was outmanned and outmatched. Bane used his lightsaber to behead the Zabrak.

The Weapon of Renegade Sith 

Darth Bane traveled to Ambria while transmitting a message to Ruusan via a messaging drone. Sith troops of Lord Kaan fought alongside their Jedi equivalent. Bane gave Kaan information on how to make an old Dark Side weapon as a “gift.” He was poisoned by the poison and dropped off his vehicle prior to reaching his goal. He was resurrected by a group of scavengers who discovered him alongside his lightsaber and utilized it to save him. Bane used his daughter’s life to coerce a healer into curing him so he could pursue his mission.

Darth Bane was a Jedi mind trickster and a member of the Brotherhood of Darkness. He persuaded Kaan to unleash the thought bomb on the Jedi, thereby killing himself because not just Jedi were slain by the bomb, but any Force-sensitives within range. Darth Bane instituted the Rule of Two as the Brotherhood perished.

Usage

Final Duel With Kas’im

The Brotherhood of Darkness dispatched Darth Bane to Korriban to study the Sith Holocron of Darth Revan. He was accosted by Kas’im, who coveted to murder or recruit him while he was perusing the holocron. Both of them pulled out their weapons and battled it out. Bane utilized the Force to steer his sword and ward off Kas’im’s saberstaff blows in a combat with his old tutor.

 Bane withdrew to the temple’s entrance before using a powerful Force wave to collapse the entire structure. Kas’im drew his final card, breaking his saberstaff’s hilt into two individual lightsabers. Bane was forced to flee because he had no experience against or with dual-blades.

Killing Of Salvagers In Darkness Camp

One of the first actions that used the Dark Lord’s lightsaber was just assassinating a group of salvagers who ransacked the previous Brotherhood of Darkness camp. Bane devastated the Jedi base on Onderon, executing all save two of the Jedi, who he purposefully let escape. The idea was for them to propagate easily debunked stories about his presence in order to scare off any Jedi, because no one would trust them. Bane practically forsaken Zannah, leaving her to make her own way to Onderons to meet him. He then embarked on his own voyage to the planet aboard his ship.

Thrashing Parasitic Orbalisks

The Force ghosts of Qordis and Kaan greeted Bane after he smashed on the Onderonian moon Dxun. He discovered the sepulcher of Freedon Nadd after picking his way across the world’s wild forests. He came into a chamber with Orbalisks and Freedon’s holocron clinging to the ceiling as he explored the edifice. While recovering the holocron, Bane attempted to bat several away with his lightsaber, though two of them succeeded to fasten themselves on his body.

Bane decided to persist because he was unable to remove them because they were impervious to his lightsaber and rapidly regenerated whatever wounds he attempted to amputate. Bane’s orbalisks turned out to be a godsend in disguise, acting as a living coat of armor for him and healing any damage he sustained.

Battles With Apprentices

Darth Bane’s lightsaber was frequently used in sparring battles with his disciple during the next ten years, with Bane adapting his combat style to take use of the full-body orbalisk armor. On a tip from Zannah, Hetton (Sith acolyte) and his retinue of Shadow Assassins attempted to kill Bane, but he didn’t actually use the lightsaber in true combat.

While Hetton used the Force to keep the assassins at bay, Bane blasted them all back but one, then used a short attack sequence to take him out. Bane then turned-on Zannah, disarming her and drove her back, only to relent when she confessed that she had led him here to perish so they might take his Sith treasures.

Confronting The Jedi

Belia Darzu’s castle was overrun by Bane, who evaded her active defenses and made it to the chamber of holocron. The combat that ensued was a brutal hack-and-slash, with Bane slicing the monsters with his lightsaber as the orbalisks healed his wounds. A tired Bane deactivated his lightsaber and held the Holocron after a long, one-sided battle.

Four Jedi rushed in, two of them from each door, while a fifth Jedi sneaked in discreetly and stood back, using Battle meditation to reinforce his fellow Jedi. The Jedi were compelled to adopt more prevaricating techniques as a result of Bane’s persistent assault. Lsu used her dual-blades to attack Bane’s unprotected face, forcing the Sith Lord to surrender. Johun Othone severed Bane’s lightsaber hand after attacking him through a small opening in his armor near the wrist. Bane let Darth Zannah finish down her opponent before coming to his rescue and saved him from impending death. Bane slashed the necks of all four Ithorians before venturing to murder the last Jedi with a blow of Force lightning.

Lightsaber Succession Chain

An Iktotchi executioner and a gang of mercenaries attacked Bane. Bane was poisoned with Senflax by the assassin, prohibiting him from utilizing the Force. She also took his weapon and tested it a few times before locking it up. When Bane fled, she returned it to him and joined him as Darth Cognus-a new apprentice.

Darth Bane as well as Darth Cognus went to Ambria to wait for Zannah. Zannah regained her footing quickly, performing a sequence of back flip flops before thrusting her saberstaff ahead. Bane expected the war games and came to a halt, only to expose himself to a volley of Sith spells that Zannah preferred. Bane was eventually brought down by a tendril of Dark Side energy, which caused his lightsaber blade to deactivate as it slipped from his grip.

Darth Zannah had become the Dark Lord, and she had taken on Cognus as an apprentice. Cognus was given Bane’s lightsaber by Zannah to operate until she could make her own.

Lightsaber Form Of Darth Bane

With his distinctive weapon, Bane developed a somewhat altered design, the intricacies of which were recognized by only the most skilled weapon handlers. The red-bladed curved-hilt lightsaber was ideal for Bane’s physically frightening combat style. Bane adopted a frantic, all-offensive fighting technique of Djem So after acquiring his lightsaber-impervious orbalisk armor, and relied on his great physical power to defeat opponents. Bane felt that by foregoing technical skill in favor of rage-fueled, strength-focused swordplay, he could maximize his efficacy as a duelist.

Darth Bane was also a Soresu master, teaching Form III to his disciple Darth Zannah in order to balance out her small stature. Darth Bane’s speed was so great in his later years that he could use his lightsaber to deflect a cascade of rain. Bane was a master of Juyo, which he may have utilized in his final confrontation with Zannah, as well as a skilled brawler and unarmed warrior.

He once demonstrated excellent mounted lightsaber duel whilst commanding a drexl and fought three Beast Riders, deflecting blaster bolts from all of his opponents in the skies. Bane was also a master of the Dun Möch technique, which he used to outsmart and demoralize Sirak in their duel at the Sith Academy.
