Vibro-Axes are a favorite among the Gamorrean species, and they were essential to Jabba the Hutt's amusement, because there blades could herd unsuspecting visitors over the rancor's pit. Vibro-Axes are varied widely in quality and power output, but they all have the same basic function, which a power cell supplies energy to an ultrasonic vibration generator, that propells the cutting blade through thousands of microscopic vibrations per second. Even though there are much better made vibro-axes the Gamorrean guards in Jabba's palace insisted on carrying crude vibro-axes made by Snogrutt, a master weapon maker from their home clan o Groogrun. The vibro-ax has a wooden shaft that holds a hollow ax head, which contains both the ultrasonic generator and the power cell. This creates a tremendous amount of vibration that travels down the wooden handle and the Gamorreans are among the only species that can handle the vibro-axes because of the vibration. Jabba's other guards that included a number of Weequay, and Nikto warriors prefered to use the more practical SoroSuub BD-1 Cutter Vibro-Ax. This weapon had a hollow durasteel shaft with internal dampeners that absorb vibrations from the ax blade. The six power cells allow the blade to run for up to eight hours. | |
