This lightsaber variant is favoured by those who prefer hands-free lightsaber
use, or sentient races who have no appendages that can grasp a hilt. Humanoid
wrist sabers feature a permasteel guard to stop the hand bending back into the
blade.
Their blades tend to be significantly shorter than a normal lightsaber, and lend
themselves to fighting styles utilising outer blocks and
"in-fighting". If a wrist saber artist can get within the sweep of a
longer saber, the fight is usually over.
