1 appearances

Purpose

Close-quarters combat and hunting tool used in Exxilon's indigenous conflicts.

Significance

These knives symbolize Exxilon's defensive primal instincts and the planet's refusal to accommodate outsiders. Their presence in Marine Space Corps accounts signals the breaching of Exxilon isolation—a shift from defensive stone tools to active weapons wielded against perceived threats.
