After too much scrapping and re-visioning to explain, I have come up with two new designs that I plan to see through until the end and beyond. The first one I will present, is what I originally called "Matriarch" (Mks. I and II). But after realizing that I wanted to give the Hierarch the Matriarch's current design, what you see in the following pictures are for the HIERARCH design. The Matriarch will come within the next month.

This was the first sketch, intended to be for the Women of my in-universe species which are really Human clones made from force sensitives, and amplified genetically, that were born into the Sith religion.

This was the second, with added details. I gave it some hand grips, because many of the Matriarchs and Hierarchs of the are taught to use Form V.

Here is the Mk. II Variant.

Here's a close-up of the upper-half of the hilt,

Here are some specs, along with a bottom-half close-up,

And another spec overview...

Im open to any suggestions before I start. I'm getting ready to Make an internal view, as well as a 3d render, which I hope to also give an internal view.

The new design for the former-replaced Matriarch will come after I have this model set for sure.

your proportions are a bit off, might want to consider a revamp. for instance, the grips and recharge port go into the threaded area of the pommel.

I actually didnt mean to place the recharge port there, I kind of did it in a hasty move to show that I at least wanted one, given that there would be room somewhere on my Mk. III

Here's Mk. 3 of the Hierarch. I made a few adjustments to the lower-half of the hilt. A more open design to show the ribbed extension in the front, and in the back, which Im also thinking of putting a small strip of rubber around the top, for my index finger to grab. Instead of four small grips in the middle, Im gonna put two somewhat thick ones. Recharge port has been moved higher up, away from the pommel. Possibly designing a crystal chamber, because Im working to keep all of my internals in/on a sled chassis, so I can unscrew and pull away to reveal the crystal.

Still debating on pieces to hold my crystal in. Im thinking that Imma find as many pieces to make something similar to this, but more secure and stable.
