Sabre (3979 words) |
 | The origins of the sabre are somewhat unclear, and it may come from designs such as the falchion or the scimitar (shamshir) used in the middle ages by such Central Asian cavalry as the Turks, Tatars, and Mongols. |
| Scimitars can be found in one or two handed variants, with blades typically ranging in length from 30 to 36 inches (76 to 92 centimetres), and the blades, while commonly depicted as being very wide (from cutting edge to the rear of the blade), seem most often to have been very thin. |
| The Persian shamshir, the Indian tulwar, the Afghani pulwar, the Turkish kilij, the Arabian saif, the Mameluke "scimitar", and the European sabre (adopted via Hungary's Magyar horsemen) and cutlass are all progeny of this Mongol curved blade. |

| The scimitar, or sc'rath, was a weapon favored by the Togorian people, especially by the males who shunned sophisticated technology. |
| In combat, Yil scimitars inflicted an electrical shock on opponents, combining the effectiveness of a blade and a stun baton. |
| Scimitars may also have been used by other cultures in the Galaxy. |
