This is a smaller version of the lightsaber. The handle was usually 13cm long (as opposed to 25-30cm), and slightly slimmer (2-3 cm) than the saber's. The blade is (typically) only about 20cm long, instead of the normal 60-70cm length of a lightsaber. It was typically used for training or utility purposes, or carried by Jedi as a combat backup (often used as Daisho). An advantage is that it is easier to conceal and often quicker to use. +1D to hide and +2 to initiative is applied. As space is at a premium, lightdaggers are made to more exacting case specifications which slightly reduces their damage resistance. Lightdaggers get 1D+2 to resist damage applied directly to the handle.
