Long Sword

The Long Sword is a one-handed blade designed around balance, reach and versatility, featuring a long double-edged profile capable of effective cutting and thrusting attacks across a wide range of combat styles. Longer than most common swords while remaining light enough for prolonged use, the weapon provides a significant advantage in close combat against shorter melee weapons, though it remains disadvantaged against dedicated ranged systems. Forged primarily from refined metal alloys and enhanced through traditional arcane craftsmanship, the Long Sword lacks the extensive modular systems of ballistic and energy weapons, yet remains highly valued for its reliability, elegance and direct responsiveness to skilled wielders. Manufactured extensively by Elysian Greens, the Long Sword is widely considered the archetypal blade throughout Federation space, carried by nobles, mercenaries, officers and wandering spacers alike as both weapon and cultural icon.

RE: Continued Sword Production Concerns
To the Product Review Committee,

After reviewing your recommendation to phase out sword production in favuor of exclusively ranged platforms, I have concluded that your proposal lacks historical perspective, martial understanding and basic wisdom. I encourage the committee to redirect its energies toward matters it is better equipped to comprehend.

Respectfully, fellate yourselves.

Warm regards,
Thaelion,
Master Artisan-Lord, Elysian Greens Blade Division.
