Antares

Named after the 15th brightest star in the sky, Antares was created in Earth's final years by its finest scientists and is optimized to achieve maximum hotness. The hi-tech solarium blade projector contained in its hilt projects a (usually) stable stream of solarium-charged plasma that is perfect for use in the heat of battle and can cut through nearly anything (or anyone!) that stands in your way. Not only does Antares's high intensity, high heat solarium-plasma blade instantly cauterize wounds, but it also melts them, sets them on fire, and cauterizes them again!

If cutting just doesn't cut it for you, you can also smash Antares's blade into the ground to create a wave of fire that's perfect for clearing the way or making a statement!

Antares can be crafted with 20 refined violium, 25 solarium stars, 2 batteries, 4 scorched cores, and a Prototype Handle at the Seperator addon. The Prototype Handle can be purchased at Treasured Trophies for 15 scorched cores, 50 tentacle clusters, 8 brain blocks, and 5 solarium stars. You need to have obtained the Prototype Handle in order for Antares's recipe to appear.

As you can probably tell by the Handle's price, Antares is meant to be a post-final boss weapon, but there's nothing stopping you (Except guilt) from beaming into the level, grabbing the materials, and noping out of there.

Antares also come equipped with a custom alt-ability called Blazing Wave, which creates a, well, blazing wave that travels in the direction you're facing, does damage, and sets enemies on fire. Technically, it's a heavily modified Great Wave (Hokucide's ability). Blazing wave has a base energy usage of 75.

Antares can also be upgraded to tier 6 at a Weapon Upgrade Anvil for 1250 ancient essence. After being upgraded, its damage per swing increases to 42.

A huge thanks goes to my friend Steven Steel, who unintentionally got me into modding, offered to help whenever I screwed up and made Starbound vomit, taught me how to shade my sprites, and a bunch of other things.

Happy Starbounding!

Oh, and its ID is "antares" ("antareshandle" if you want the better version Just kidding it's the handle).
