5 Alchemy Super Science Swords For Your Old School Space Opera

 
I your humble & most trusted sword smith would present you with these five treasured blades created from the finest materials from across the Human Empire. The sword doth cut both ways & its blades are of the sharpest that the hand can wield. 

1. The Singing Swords Of Cor'ra - These blades are forged by the blind alchemist priests of  Cor'ra your honorable one. They are created from the silicate crystal flowers of that world as they cry unto the sky. Shaped by the alchemist so that a single breath will cause them to vibrate with a high pitched mournful whine. They will slice through most materials with with ease. There is a 5% chance of shattering the blade however should a blade encounter a rare low frequency vibration. The blade deals id3 points of damage to the material it hits. There is also a 20% of the blade reflecting energy attacks made against the host if a dexterity roll is made & the wielder is aware of it. This may only be done 2 twice a day your honor. 
2. The Tab'ra Blades - These blades are very rare your honor for they are forged from the heart of rogue planetoids! These blades retain the rage & anger of their forging. The blade is made with psycho sensitive materials. It will react to aggression & anger to its owner. It glows a soft ruddy color of rage & anger. A cornea of star like energy will surround the blade  adding a +2 to the 1d4 points of damage that the blade does. 
3. Spacer's Shive- This is a common spacer's blade your highest & made by spacers from the wrecks of battle cruisers. The blades are adorned with the names of comrades who have fallen in battle. They are often used as weapons of combat & warfare. They are treated planet side by the mad priests to resist chipping & wear. These blades may be passed for hundreds of years through families for generations. This one is blank as you can see honorable one. 1d4 points of damage per hit. The blades are resistant to most damage. Any exposure to raw antimatter will destroy the blade however. 
4. Commoner's Blade - As a contrast your honorable one I have included a commoner's blade. This blade is made from a simple piece of Ersonite steel forged by the nuclear industrial fires.. They may be treated by alchemy to be unbreakable however. They come in a wide variety  of styles & types. 1d3 points of damage & it will penetrate most styles of shield honored one. 
5. Riot Blade - The last blade I would show you is of course, the so called riot blade. Forged from a single space spike it is a weapon to be respected. A weapon of hate & rage These weapons carry with them the psychic imprint of their owners in a single psy-chip. One would think that these weapons are cheap & dirty. One would be wrong notice the shine of the blade & its balance. The weapons are created by the blind  alchemist veterans of the Imperial service. They use small hand nuclear reactors to forge the blades to utmost sharpness & balance. These weapons can often be found sticking from the rips of some upstart noble who has abused his officers & soldiers. They can also be found in the hands of sons given to them by their fathers before going off to war. 1d4 points of damage & the psychic chip carries with it a record of the battles the blade has been in. 

Super Science Swords In Other Settings 


These blades of course can be found throughout the wilds of space. Hidden within the treasure hoards of booty & plunder among the ruins of alien civilizations. These styles of  blades can be heirlooms passed down through the generations each one with a story to tell.
Upon Carcosa they are still forged in the stillness of jungle huts where the nuclear piles continue to glow with the ringing of hammers & the mad bastard mutterings of priest alchemists. These blades being the only thing that stands between you & the beasts of the Outer Darkness.
These blades may be enchanted but there is also a price in blood & horror to be paid.
