The Conversion Hilt Lightsaber is a variant of the lightsaber weapon. It has plasma blades powered by crystals in the hilt that determine their characteristics and color, as well as a hilt that can convert from one form to another allowing multiple configurations. These blades are capable of cutting through virtually anything including blast doors given enough time.
This lightsaber has been built with watertight casing and seals, allowing it to be submerged in water without damage to the internal components.
This lightsaber is equipped with an ionizing emitter matrix for use against droid units that may be capable of fighting through lost limbs or chassis pieces. The ionization funneled into the blade works to fry circuits in the periphery of a strike.
A series of interlocking plates, engaged by a simple trigger stud, extends the weapon to beyond the length of a regular lightsaber pike, resembling more a traditional polearm instead. The primary blade extends as far as would be expected of a pike, but the secondary remains considerably shorter, barely spanning a splayed hand. Both plasma blades glow a pure golden yellow, cleaner and sharper than the burnished copper bronze of the weapon's shaft. Inlaid within the metal, following the seams of plates and in rounded decorative patterns, is a deep purple enamel, chipped and oxidized in places, but providing a stark contrast to the weapon at large.
The weapon hilt is wrapped in rough tanned nerfhide leather, its spiralling brown surface worn by harsh climates and polished by intensive sparring. Cracks and chips potmark the leather, leaving a beaten and uncomfortable appearance far removed from the elegantly angular emitter shrouds that peek out at each end of the compact weapon. Unpainted or treated, and dulled by age and service to a meager shine, the metalwork strikes a contrast with its industrial gunmetal silver. Cut diagonally out of brushed durasteel, the shrouds too carry their fair share of scrapes and blemishes, but speak of a far more refined structure than the repurposed slave collars wrapped around the rest of the hilt.
