A Sith training saber served as a practice tool for students within the Sith academy located on Korriban.
Training sabers were constructed with durasteel blades, featuring dulled edges, and their weight distribution was designed to emulate actual lightsabers. The training saber's blade was coated with countless microscopic, toxin-filled spines derived from pelko bugs. These spines, upon contact, induced skin burns and a temporary paralysis of the affected region, simulating the sensation of limb loss.
