Binary Sunset · Dusk

A customised Maelstorm hilt, made and installed by Vader’s Vault. Gold acanthus scrollwork is etched across a black body, with inlaid mother-of-pearl panels set into an open, windowed emitter crown, which is itself set with a diamond. A sculpted gold spine runs the length of the grip, and a lit accent ring sits between gold collars. Inside, CFX electronics drive a neopixel blade.

Dusk is the groom’s saber of the pair named Binary Sunset; its partner, the bride’s saber, is Dawn. The name recalls the twin suns of Tatooine: two lights setting together, two blades made to stand side by side.
