This is lightsaber belonged at one point to Darth Lau'Ren during the height of the Great Sith Empire. Among the many she would use throughout her lifetime, this piece may have been the first constructed by her own hand. Though better known for her political skill and cunning, Lau'Ren was known as an efficient and capable fighter, having ascended to the throne of one of the largest Sith factions by the age of 26. She was also the lover, and later wife of Darth Drakhen, although it has been speculated by some historians that their marriage was political. Born of Hapan nobility, she witnessed first hand the decimation that the Jedi wrought on the Sith'ri colony world of Tarra Minor.
