Axe

Simple Weapon

     Cost: 35   Weight: 2kg   Availability: —

     Damage: 1d8   Stun: —   Type: Slashing

Though this weapon is a smaller, unpowered version of the vibro-ax, many fringers find a blade on a haft to be indespesnable in the wilds of untamed planets. An axe also haas the advantage of being lgeal nearly everywhere, largely because no one thinks to outlaw such a simple tool. Modern versions made of advanced composite materials are common in many explorer’s shops, and various species pressed into service by the Empire bring their own traditional axes with them when they are shipped across the galaxy.
     This weapon can be thrown.

Bayonet

Simple Weapon

     Saga Edition Core Rulebook, page 121.

     Cost: 50   Weight: 1kg   Availability: —

     Damage: 1d8   Stun: —   Type: Piercing

When mounted on a rifle, a bayonet allows you to use the rifle as a melee weapon much like a spear. When wielding a rifle with a mounted bayonet, you threaten squares within your reach (even if you used the rifle to make a ranged attack on your last turn), and you can use it to make attacks of opportunity. A bayonet requires two hands to use when mounted on a rifle.
     A bayonet cannot be used on a rifle with a folded stock. A bayonet detached from a rifle is treated as a knife; a mounted bayonet deals more damage than the knife because of the added leverage and bulk.

     The entrenching tool is designed to be durable enough for combat, but it is not as balanced as a regular weapon. The wielder takes a −2 penalty to attack rolls (improvised weapons normally impose a −5 penalty to attack rolls) and can choose to deal either piercing or slashing damage.
