The Bloodshot ripper was a one-handed, double-edged melee weapon. Fencers who used the Bloodshot ripper without a lifetime of training were unheard of. At some point of time, this infamous weapon was acquired by the scientist Treun Lorn for his personal museum of deadly blades. When a group of spacers ventured into the Myyydril Caverns on Kashyyyk and killed Lorn and his creation, the cyborg N-K Necrosis, in his laboratory in the deepest depths of the caverns, they found this weapon among various other weapons and items.
