actually, Nelo's saber in SOTF has a cortosis handguard. it actualy can deflect a saber.

Hey Nelo! Check what I found! xd

now if only it had a green blade...

*drools* That's my saber... when I hit the wrong color...  

[Sol Walker]

thought you'd like it.  

[Nelowulf]

there we go. A little touchup is all it needed.  

[Sol Walker]

nifty.  

[HereticX]

What is Cortosis?
Some kind of lightsaber deflecting material, I take it, but, is there anything else?

Cortosis. One of several metals that is capable of deflecting a lightsaber. The odd thing about cortosis is that some of the purest ore of it will actually "short" the lightsaber out, due to its atomic structure. However, such pure ore often only works in massive quantities, and is very rare to find. It is a metal that has the same tendencies as titanium: Brittle, somewhat strong, low malleability.

Other metals known to deflect, or possibly stop a lightsaber are: Mandelorian Iron.

given the choice, i'd go with the MI myself...  

[Sol Walker]

yep. good old Mandalorian Iron.
now if only you could find some.
In the age of the clone wars and beyond its rarer than hen's teeth.

good thing too, or the jedi would have really been screwed. Battledroids made of mandelorian iron? *shudder*  

[Sol Walker]

no lie. probably the only place one can find Mandelorian Iron is in core world museums already fasioned into stuff.  

[Nelowulf]

You could have cale raid it, and fashion some armor...  

[Sol Walker]

I already have something in mind with Cale and Mandelorian Iron. it will come along later.
besides, Cale ain't the armor wearing type.  

[Nelowulf]

There's more than one kind of armor. But that matters little really.  

[Nospai Deathous]

you could have gauntlets... bracelets, like wonder woman...!
