this is out of the book/comic Star Wars: Darkforces: Soldier For The Empire
".....one pre-Empire vibroaxe of the sort used to board enemy starships. It was an ugly weapon and cut through Imperial armor as if it were constructed from paper."
looks like the devs havent done their reading on the pikemen info, 
btw how cool wouldn't it be if boarding was an option when space expansions came out 
tho i doubt this will ever come...

Well, I own inside a building the 1 in 3 times I hit the nmy enough. I think I will be really good at the boarding stuff. For base defense, it is hard to top a melee Doc.

Did that excerpt say Vibro Axe? or Long Vibro Axe? Because, well, Swordsman use axes.../shrug
I believe it is about 3rd to 4th level of Two-Handed Weapons in brawler.......

I remember looking at some early concept art for episode 4 where all the stormtroopers and rebel soldiers were fighting with lightsabers and shields. It was really cool, I wish I could find the site again.
