Ostrine edge

OnALegendsArticle

An ostrine edge was a type of melee weapon edge that had been augmented by a refined form of a rare, heat-absorbing mineral known as ostrine from the planet Hargeeva. Affixed to a weapon, the edge emitted an extreme chill that caused additional damage to objects that it struck, and it also partially protected the user from fires and extreme heat by decreasing the surrounding temperature. The edge was silver in color except for a red part of the edge near the weapon's hilt. Used during the time of the Dark Wars[1] in 3951 BBY,[2] the weapon upgrade sold for 28,850 credits.[1]

Behind the scenes

The ostrine edge appeared in the 2004 Obsidian Entertainment video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The melee weapon upgrade was rare to acquire and could be found in random locations, but players with a very high repair skill could construct the item at a workbench. A melee weapon upgraded with the edge gave the user a cold damage bonus and a reduction in damage taken from fire-based attacks. The ostrine edge also gave the weapon an increased chance of scoring a critical hit, which dealt increased damage.[1]
