Naval sword

When the ceremony was held, it was attended by Irrv and his Imperial officers along with Kloff and a handful of Culroon warriors, with thousands more secretly hiding in the surrounding forests, who were ready to attack the Imperials. When Irrv handed Kloff the Naval sword, the warlord calmly used it to impale Colonel Jeffers, Irrv's aide, killing him. At that signal, the warriors revealed themselves and surrounded the Imperials, who were ultimately saved through the actions of Junior Lieutenant Maximilian Veers.

The Naval sword first appeared in the short story "The Promotion of Lieutenant Veers," published in 1987 in West End Games's The Star Wars Sourcebook written by Bill Slavicsek and Curtis Smith. It was described as a ceremonial sword in the thirty-first issue of The Official Star Wars Fact File, a magazine published by De Agostini on July 31, 2002. In "The Promotion of Lieutenant Veers," Irrv hands the Naval sword to Kloff as part of the ceremony, which was contradicted by The Official Star Wars Fact File as it stated that Kloff would give the sword to Irrv in exchange for a ceremonial blaster. The contradiction was repeated in the fourteenth issue of the revised run of The Official Star Wars Fact File, which was published on April 9, 2014. This article follows the short story's version of events.
