Periastron (series)

Periastrons are sci-fi swords that each hold a unique ability. These swords also deal powerful damage against opponents, and almost all of them cost 2,000 ROBUX originally. Besides the Azure Periastron, all of these gears have a common description, starting with "The sword men use to fight [creature name] in space."

It is speculated that when the final Periastron is released for the series, anyone who owns all Periastrons is able to form them into an "ultimate sword," similar to Epic Katana.

They will stay in the sky for a few seconds before they turn purple, where anything (including the user) will take 40 damage. This ability will last five seconds with no cooldown time in between laser strike markings, with a ten second cooldown after the ability has been used.
