Vibrorapier/Legends

A vibrorapier was a specialized type of vibrosword with a long and thin blade.
==Characteristics==
The vibrorapier possessed a longer and thinner blade than the standard vibroblade, and was also extremely well-balanced, with many professional fighters considering the vibrorapier to be an excellent duelist's weapon as a result. The vibrorapier was entirely silent due to a specialized design that diminished the ultrasonic pitch typical to other vibroweapons, making it a preferred weapon when stealth was necessary. While a deadly slashing weapon, the vibrorapier was specially designed for thrusting; vibrorapiers were capable of piercing virtually any armor due to their construction, making them extremely deadly in the hands of a professional.
==History==
The vibrorapier had a reputation for rakishness and roguishness given its use by professional swordsmen, pirates, and privateers. Besides its aesthetics and reputation, however, the weapon fulfilled an important niche purpose in modern combat; due to its slim construction it was preferred over bulkier weapons during boarding operations, especially when blasters couldn't be used for fear of damaging fragile cofferdams and airlocks.
Because of their value, it wasn't uncommon for a Captain to give vibrorapiers to members of their crew in order to win loyalty; often the weapons were so highly prized that gifting one was often enough ensure that there would be no challenges to command.
LaserHone was considered to be the best vibrorapier manufacturer on the market, and its duelist vibrorapier was renowned for its quality.
