Eakya
A short blade, not unlike that on an aloi, but with a handle instead of mount. One is used in each hand. Uninitiated humans find it easier to fight with these than to adapt to aloi. These are often found in subsectors dividing the Hierate from the Solomani Confederation. They are usually permitted even on worlds whose high law level would otherwise not allow blade weapons.
