Katana
Japanese longsword
Martial weapon
Cost: 2000 Credits
As a traditional officer's sidearm in the Space Command, the katana may seem a little bit out-of-date, but no small firearm slices & dices an unarmored enemy better than it. It is fast but lacks the power to penetrate heavy armor. The greatest advantage from wielding it comes when you face a foe eye-to-eye in close combat: with the katana, you can defend yourself effectively!
