The Galactic Sweatshop presents: Nyx
Nyx was the primeval goddess of the night. Nyx was the daughter of Chaos and was the sister of Erebus. Nyx embodied the dark silence and had fifteen dark children, among them Hypnos (the sleep) and Thanatos (the death). She is depicted as riding in a chariot, trailing stars and bringing the night, and accompanied by Her sons Hypnos and Thanatos. She could be helpful or harmful to mankind, bringing either sleep or death.
Nyx is made entirely of MHS parts from The Custom Saber Shop and is powdercoated in Blue Explosion and Trans Gold, with a little bit of Black around the emitter. I wanted to give the emitter the illusion of a Carbon burn that would likely happen if the lightsaber was real. The shroud cut out was designed by my wife. It is a sink tube that has been sanded down to the brass and polished. I used a Rose Quartz in the crystal chamber illuminated by a Red 5mm led matched by a Red illuminated A/V switch. The main led is a P4 Red powered by a Master Replica Jedi soundcard and 4AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries with the charge port in the pommel.
Nyx also uses a "Death Blade". It is a Black polycarbonate tube lined with about 6 feet of polypropylene and a Bullet Tip. Seems to compliment the meaning behind the Goddess' name.
