Monado

The Monado was a sword-like weapon forged in ALTA-19 near the end of the Clone Wars as a top secret experiment by the Galactic Republic. It was intended to allow the user to mimic the powers of the Jedis, with the intent of supplying the clone troopers with them and potentially eliminating the need for the presence of the Jedis on the battlefield entirely. While the blade was similar in concept to a lightsaber, it was specifically engineered to have no effect on organic species while dealing crippling damage to droids. Additionally, the Monado was infused with midichlorians, making the wielder more in tune with the Force and giving them the ability to experience visions and perform high jumps.

With the execution of Order 66 and the end of the Clone Wars, the Monado project never got far and only one was ever made. Although it was supposed to be put into storage by the Galactic Empire, an error with the hyperspace coordinates caused the shuttle carrying it to crash on Bionis. It eventually came into the hands of Shulk.
