Unpowered bladed weapons are simply weapons that have some sort of blade to cause piercing or slashing damage that do not require a power pack or energy cell to operate.
#### Axe

**Simple Weapon**
      *Rebellion Era*, page 48.      **Cost:** 35   **Weight:** 2kg   **Availability:** —
      **Damage:** 1d8   **Stun:** —   **Type:** SlashingThough this weapon is a smaller, unpowered version of the vibro-ax, many fringers find a blade on a haft to be indespesnable in the wilds of untamed planets. An axe also haas the advantage of being lgeal nearly everywhere, largely because no one thinks to outlaw such a simple tool. Modern versions made of advanced composite materials are common in many explorer’s shops, and various species pressed into service by the Empire bring their own traditional axes with them when they are shipped across the galaxy.
      This weapon can be thrown.
#### Bayonet

**Simple Weapon**
      *Saga Edition Core Rules*, page 121.      **Cost:** 50   **Weight:** 1kg   **Availability:** —
      **Damage:** 1d8   **Stun:** —   **Type:** PiercingWhen mounted on a rifle, a bayonet allows you to use the rifle as a melee weapon much like a spear. When wielding a rifle with a mounted bayonet, you threaten squares within your reach (even if you used the rifle to make a ranged attack on your last turn), and you can use it to make attacks of opportunity. A bayonet requires two hands to use when mounted on a rifle.
      A bayonet cannot be used on a rifle with a folded stock. A bayonet detached from a rifle is treated as a knife; a mounted bayonet deals more damage than the knife because of the added leverage and bulk.
#### Datadagger

**Simple Weapon**
      *Threats of the Galaxy*, page 13.      **Cost:** 500   **Weight:** 0.1kg   **Availability:** Illegal
      **Damage:** 1d4   **Stun:** —   **Type:** PiercingA Datadagger is an elaborate and decorative code cylinder that contains a hidden weapon. When the wielder twists the hilt, a needlelike blade extends from the socket. Since the blade is so well hidden within the cylinder’s electronics, it is hard to detect (+5 circumstance bonus to the Stealth check to conceal the object and no circumstance bonus if the examiner touches the wielder).
#### Dire Sword

**Simple Weapon**
      *Knights of the Old Republic*, page 65.      **Cost:** 100   **Weight:** 4kg   **Availability:** —
      **Damage:** 1d8   **Stun:** —   **Type:** Slashing/PiercingThis archaic weapon is a favorite of duelists and other students of classic fighting styles. Unpowered, this weapon is little more than a refinement of the classic longsord, crafted with tradition in mind but using the most modern technology.
#### Double-bladed Sword

**Simple Weapon**
      *Knights of the Old Republic*, page 65.      **Cost:** 120   **Weight:** 2kg   **Availability:** —
      **Damage:** 1d6/1d6   **Stun:** —   **Type:** SlashingThis two-bladed version of the war sword allows those proficient in the use of two weapons to take advantage of their skills while wielding only one weapon. Typically the two blades are connected in the middle by a short length of metal, providing a safe place for the wielder to grip the weapon.
      A double-bladed sword is a double weapon. You can attack with both ends of the weapon as a full-round action, but both attacks take a −10 penalty (certain feats and talents can reduce these penalties).
#### Entrenching Tool

      **Damage:** 1d6   **Stun:** —   **Type:** Slashing/PiercingUsed by soldiers for thousands of years, the entrenching tool is a durable, multipurpose tool that can also be an effective melee weapon. The entrenching tool can be configured as a short shovel, a pickaxe, or even a makshift hammer.
      The entrenching tool is designed to be durable enough for combat, but it is not as balanced as a regular weapon. The wielder takes a −2 penalty to attack rolls (improvised weapons normally impose a −5 penalty to attack rolls) and can choose to deal either piercing or slashing damage.
#### Gaderffi

**Simple Weapon**

      The gaderffi is a double weapon. The wielder can attack with both ends as a full-round action, but both attacks take a −10 penalty (certain feats and talents can reduce these penalties).
