"Alright young younglings!" Master Vos said, clapping his hands to catch everyone's attention.

Having successfully left Ilum with their own lightsaber crystals, the Raxshir Clan were meditating together. They all opened their eyes when they heard Master Vos speak.

Dimui jumped to his feet.

"Master Vos!" he acknowledged. "So, where and when do we build our lightsabers?" he asked excitedly. The rest of the younglings stood as well and formed a loose semicircle around the older Jedi.

"Well kids, that's exactly why I'm here," Master Vos beamed and unclipped his lightsaber from his belt. "Say hello to the one and only Huyang, the designer, architect and guide to your future lightsaber!"

Soft metallic creaking and the sound of machinery whirring came from the small passageway behind Master Vos. He then stepped to the side, revealing a droid.

A Mark IV Architect Droid Professor the colour of the crucible walked out towards the younglings. His bright yellow eyes, despite just being machine parts, seemed to trickle out wisdom as his gaze passed briefly from each learner. From the droid's ancient materials, the younglings could tell that he was extremely old.

Huyang paused, possibly to smile, though it was impossible to tell because his metallic face did not move.

"Well, well, well. Look at these young Jedi." Huyang mused, stroking his metal chin with his skillful fingers, adept at handling components after years of teaching others how to construct their Jedi weapons.

Master Vos nodded, smiling slightly. "Quite a skillful batch! Passed the Gathering, harvested their crystals, tough as Gundark leather."

"Is that so? Well, I hope you all use your knowledge well during this lesson. For I have been, and will be, a mentor to thousands of Jedi, past, present, and emerging. Yes, those Masters on the Council? Their lightsaber designs and creators are buried in my memory banks. Master Vos here, I remember his journey like yesterday. You will be no different." Huyang said.

He moved to the wall, on which a few shelfs were nailed, some holding a previously built lightsaber. The droid turned back to the Raxshir Clan.

"See this one here? Manufactured by Jeyett Jerubar. She fought with it during the Mandalorian-Jedi War, where she died in combat." He picked up two others, both different in design. "Jedi Master Seros Orioto's lightsaber takes the curved approach, unlike this one here, the simple grip, belonging to Falen Mazel. Both served in the Peacekeeping of Parliok."

Huyang turned again to return the lightsabers but continued lecturing.

"A lightsaber is a Jedi's companion wherever they go. A protector, a symbol, a weapon. But without my guidance, the crystals you have harvested serve no purpose, no possibility of being brought to life and utilised in your future weapon. I contain every piece of knowledge, every shard of understanding, every crumb of information, every wisp of enlightenment there is to possess about these mighty Jedi weapons."

The droid professor walked stiffly to a table beside the group and pressed a button. Multiple holograms containing lightsaber designs immediately popped up above the table. The Raxshir Clan gasped in wonder and pointed at their favourite creations.

"Let us begin." Huyang remarked.
