This lightsaber was the weapon carried by Emperor’s Hand Mara Jade. It produced a magenta blade when ignited. It was constructed by Mara Jade from a rare crystal given to her by Emperor Palpatine when she became an Emperor’s Hand.

She used this weapon with her hold-out blaster throughout the Galactic Civil War, including in the Shelsha sector, on Svivren, Chibias and Kintoni. She lost it after the Battle of Endor, during her duel with Lumiya on Caprioril.

Several years later, Mara Jade joined the New Jedi Order and constructed a new purple-bladed lightsaber as part of her training to become a Jedi Knight.
