Force blades are one of the most common and versitile edged weapons available.  The mechanism consists of a hilt containing the force generator.   The blade generated can be of various shapes, though usually are of a simple blade about a meter long.  The default configuration is to have the generated blade absorb light causing it to apear sleek and black, but it can be configured to be invisible save a slight distortion of the air.  All force weaponry, however, shows up easily on a tactical scanner.

A force blade can be effectivly used against armoured targets.   When the user attacks using a thrusting motion, as apposed to swinging the blade at the target, the weapon is considered to be armour piercing.  There is no possibility of severance in a piercing attack.
