| //The Bastard Sword is a heavy one-handed blade built around power, durability and decisive lethality, featuring a broad double-edged profile capable of delivering devastating cutting strikes against armored and unarmored targets alike. Thicker and weightier than the more refined Long Sword, the Bastard Sword sacrifices some speed and elegance in exchange for increased momentum, structural resilience and stopping force in close-quarters combat. Like most traditional melee weapons, it is forged primarily from reinforced metal alloys and enhanced through arcane forging techniques rather than advanced modular systems, allowing it to remain affordable, reliable and brutally effective even in modern warfare. Produced by Elysian Greens as part of their continuing preservation of classical bladecraft, the Bastard Sword is favored by enforcers, mercenaries and heavily armored combatants who value certainty over subtlety.// | //The Bastard Sword is a heavy one-handed blade built around power, durability and decisive lethality, featuring a broad double-edged profile capable of delivering devastating cutting strikes against armored and unarmored targets alike.

| + | //“The Bastard Sword rose to prominence during late Expansion Era conflicts, where increasingly sophisticated armour systems and reinforced shields reduced the effectiveness of lighter blades in close combat. Popularized in part through the influence of Dwarven armoursmith guilds, the weapon’s heavier construction allowed combatants to deliver forceful strikes capable of damaging plating, breaking guard positions and exhausting defensive opponents over prolonged engagements. Though still respected throughout Federation space, the Bastard Sword has become less common in modern eras, with many contemporary spacers preferring specialized Flash-Tech, explosive or energy-based weapons when engaging heavily armoured targets. Even so, the weapon retains a loyal following among traditionalists who maintain that there are few solutions more reliable than overwhelming force applied at arm’s length.”// | ||
