The Onyx Scythe is a long reaching and threatening weapon created for the deadly warriors of Plagueis. The blade is the darkest of blacks, tempered to an incredibly deadly edge. The handle is approximately five and a half feet long standard, or adjustable upon request. The handle is a dark tempered steel, the bottom is slightly engorged to be a counter balance for the blade when it’s swung. The Scythe is created in homage of many old beliefs in the gods of death. They would often wield a scythe that would drag their victims down to the underworld. Just so the intimidating warriors of Plagueis will reap death upon the battlefield.

The grip is blackened reek leather with a diatium pommel, Clan Plagueis cross guard, and knurls.

While on a scouting mission during the campaign to take over the planet of Seolara, Sith Neophyte Reiyden Rosenau and her Master, Battlemaster Furios Morega, were flying a normal route to ensure integrity of the initial air space around the planet when both of their fighters became disabled. Not knowing where the disruption was coming from or what was causing it, they both started to follow emergency flight protocol, only to have their efforts inhibited by power returning to their ships.
The comm ports in Furios' ship crackle to life. "Neophyte, do you...."
Rosenau interrupts her master. "Yes Master. I sense it too. But I can't see anything."
"Nor can I." her Master replies. "But the power signature is enormous."
As if the force itself had ordained, both Master and Student were drawn to a dark anomaly located well past the range of their fighters scanners or sensors. The anomaly itself was miniscule in physical size, but shared the density of a black hole.
Upon reaching the pseudo coordinates that had been granted them through their innate ability of Force Astrogation, the two Sith stand in disbelief. For what has drawn them, shouldn't exist, though the Dark Side of the Force tells them different. For what they have found was a fragment of the Star Forge.
Thought only to be a myth, the Star Forge was an object of immense power. Being able to produce any and all elements of war, luxury, and life. More specifically the ability to cheat death. All remnants of the Forge were thought to have been destroyed long ago, with nothing other than the annuls of history remaining as proof.....until now.
The specimen itself, being only 25 mm(w) x 12 mm(h) x 12 mm(d), resembled something one would find in an average trash compactor. Along with the dull, pale, lead-like finish, this piece is indistinguishable from that of average garbage to a non-force user.
Upon procurement and extensive testing, the fragment was found to be genuine. And although it was considered small by any measure of real word, let alone weaponized standards, the artifact wielded considerable power and augmentation properties. When matched with armor, the armor could not be breached. When matched with a kyber crystal, a saber could not be stopped. When adorned as a necklace, the wearers force feats were enhanced tenfold.
Upon discovery of such properties, the two Sith brought the artifact before their clan summit and asked for direction. After deliberation and examination, the Consul decreed that this Fragment of the Star Forge, was to be shaved and splintered, so as to grant each sliver to a deserving member of Clan Plagueis who has gone above and beyond in the ways of effort, loyalty, and service. This new weapon.....this new award........the Fragment of the Star Forge (FSF).
