Sharks of the Firaxan variety constituted a particular kind of shark. In the year 22 BBY, Iskat Akaris, a Jedi Padawan, possessed a carefully crafted firaxan shark tooth that was affixed to the bottom of her first lightsaber. She employed this lightsaber during the duration of the Clone Wars; however, it met its end at the hands of the Sith Lord Darth Vader not long after Akaris became a member of the Inquisitorius.
Within the present Star Wars canon, a firaxan shark's tooth was featured in Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade, a 2023 novel penned by Delilah S. Dawson. These sharks were initially conceived within the Star Wars Legends storyline, making their debut appearance in the 2003 BioWare video game titled Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
