Senya Tirall's lightsaber

Senya Tirall's lightsaber was a blue-bladed lightsaber wielded by Senya Tirall, the former Knight of Zakuul.

History

The Knights of Zakuul traditionally wielded lightsaber pikes along with heavy shields. The Knight-Captain Senya Tirall however frequently utilized a traditional lightsaber instead of her pike.^[2] Senya fought with this lightsaber against the Nathema Zealots during her failed attempt to rescue her daughter from Nathema.^[4] She abandoned the Knights of Zakuul after the Scion massacre, but kept both of her weapons close at hand.^[5]

Senya allied herself with Lana Beniko and came to her aid during the rescue of the Outlander, wielding her lightsaber against her fellow Knights and skytroopers that were attacking the Gravestone.^[2] After the escape, Senya went with the others to Asylum where she joined the Outlander in a trial organized by Heskal, fighting to get closer to the truth the Scions had offered.^[5] Senya also accompanied the Outlander to the Old World of Zakuul, using her lightsaber against the Heralds of Zildrog.^[6] During the Battle of Asylum Senya dueled her own daughter Vaylin and gained an upper hand, but had to flee instead of settling the matter.^[7]

After joining the Alliance to put an end to her childrens' reign of terror, Senya wielded her lightsaber during a diversionary strike to provide cover for the Havoc Squad.^[3] During the attempt to overtake the GEMINI frequency, Senya fought through waves of skytroopers and other threats aboard an Eternal Fleet warship, eventually fighting its GEMINI captain face-to-face.^[8] During the Battle of Odessen Senya rescued her son Arcann^[9] and took him to Voss where his injuries could be healed. Senya fought against a wave of Zakuulan Knights who attacked the Shrine of Healing, after which she gave her life force to save her son, ending in a coma.^[10]

Senya recovered just in time for the Assault on Odessen, in which she and her redeemed son stood with the Alliance against her daughter, ending in Vaylin's death.^[11] Immediately afterwards, the Alliance went to Zakuul to reclaim the Eternal Throne and stop the rogue GEMINI droids from exterminating all life in the galaxy with the Eternal Fleet. Senya wielded her lightsaber as she and Arcann escorted the Alliance Commander to the top of the Spire. When the Commander's body was taken over by the spirit of Valkorion, Senya and Arcann entered the Commander's mind through meditation, where Senya landed one of the decisive blows against the galactic tormentor.^[12]

Behind the scenes

In the Sacrifice trailer Senya uses a telescopic lightsaber pike during the ambush on Ord Mantell.^[4] In-game however, Senya only uses a regular lightsaber both in cutscenes and as a companion.^[5] Both her lightsaber and lightsaber pike are available from the Cartel Market.^[1]
