Clan Groogrun vibro-ax

The Clan Groogrun vibro-ax was a model of crude vibro-ax manufactured by Snogrutt, a master weaponsmith from Clan Groogrun.
==Description==
The vibro-axs were crude weapons, made by the weaponsmith Snogrutt of the Gamorrean Groogrun clan. The shaft of the vibro-ax was constructed of wood, topped by a hollowed axe head that contained the weapon's ultrasonic generator and power cell. The generator allowed the axe head to vibrate thousands of times a second, making it more deadly than an unpowered axe. Due to this design, the ultrasonic generator transferred a significant amount of vibration, making them difficult to wield in combat for species without great strength such as Gamorreans.
==History==
The nine Gamorrean guards who served Jabba the Hutt as bodyguards insisted on arming themselves with Clan Groogun vibro-axs despite better weapons being available. The guards would often use the vibro-axs unpowered in an effort to demonstrate their strength, although many in Jabba's Palace believed they simply forgot to turn them on before combat in their excitement for battle.
The vibro-axes were used to little effect when fighting Luke Skywalker during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon, as the Jedi's lightsaber effortlessly cut through their axes.
