Vibro-ax

Vibro-axes were vibroweapons common in the underworld of the galaxy, and especially among Gamorrean warriors and guards, and Togorian pirates. There were many different types of vibro-ax ranging from smaller ones to larger ones. Some were extremely bulky weapons, but effective even if difficult to wield because they inspired fear in their opponents. Also, because of the weight behind them, it was easier to cut through chunkier objects with a vibro-ax than another vibroweapon.

A vibro-ax was simply a standard ax, but handle-fitted with a vibration generator that, when fed by a power cell, caused the ax head to vibrate rapidly, thus causing more damage to a target. Some handles were designed to dampen the vibration effect for the user, though cruder versions, such as those wielded by the Gamorreans, used wooden handles. These weapons were often left deactivated, simply to allow the user to show off their physical strength- therefore defeating the whole point of the vibration cell.
