The Lumina Aionomica

Within a seemingly unremarkable rocky island on the now lost planet of Ahch-To lies a place of great significance. It was here that the very first Jedi temple was constructed by the Prime Jedi thousands of years ago, and housed inside of it was a great concentration of the light side of the Force. It was at this site that a certain master chose to safeguard the sacred Jedi texts from the onslaught of the First Order.

These texts comprised of eight bound books and scrolls, including a two-volume codex that was called the Aionomica. Written in an ancient lost language, it detailed many of the earliest accounts of exploration, codification in the Force, tenets & history of the Jedi, and so much more. In one particular section, it described a remarkable and elegant weapon that today, is known as the lightsaber.

For the very first showcase of July, we wanted to envision how a custom saber would be had someone craft one based on the guidance of the Aionomicum. We felt that the Arclyte, being the very first hilt that we created, was the most ideal of choice. And so, we began by designing a motif that was derived from a combination of the many glyphs and symbols found within the pages of the said codex. From there, the motif was applied through acid etching to the switch section and lower portion of the hilt with the emblem of the Jedi Order prominently facing upwards. Just slightly above at the Covertec Wheel band is an excerpt from one of the Aionomucum that was written in classical Ossan language.

With the intricate etchings all done, we then proceeded to powder coat the entire hilt in a deep brown hue that mimicked the bark of a Uneti Tree. After that, we began a second powder coating process where we accentuated certain portions of the Arclyte with a light copper tint to finish the saber in a beautiful, two-toned appearance.

We believe that this lightsaber would be the light that permeates the path to ancient wisdom, and for that, we call it the ‘Lumina Aionomica’. This legendary saber will be built in BOTH Neo CFX and Neo Proffie configuration in very limited quantities and be available for purchase on July 22nd at 9am EDT.
