Vibroax

Vibro-axes vary widely in quality and power output, although all of them have the same basic function: A power cell supplies energy to an ultrasonic vibration generator, which propels the cutting blade through thousands of microscopic vibrations per second. The result is a hand weapon that is significantly more dangerous than its unpowered counterparts.

A familiar model is the simple looking axhead on a wooden handle. The vibro-ax's wooden shaft holds a hollow ax head that contains both the ultrasonic generator and the power cell. A tremendous amount of vibration is transferred down the wooden handle, and Gamorreans are among the few creatures with enough strength to handle these difficult devices. The Gamorreans often chose to use their weapons in unpowered mode to demonstrate their great strength.

More sophisticated beings chooseconsiderably more practical, modern weapons such as the SoroSuub DB-1 Cutter vibro-ax. This weapon has a hollow durasteel shaft with internal dampeners that absorb vibrations form the ax blade. The high-powered ax head can slice through armor plating as if it were rotting cloth, while the quick-release switch allows the user to replace a damaged ax blade in seconds. Six power cells permit up to eight hours of continuous use, while the intensity switch gives the wielder the ability to determine precisely how much damage the blade will cause. These weapons are sturdy enough to take rough handling, with superior weight distribution to make them easy to handle in combat.
