Eirene was the goddess of peace (eirênê) and of the season of spring (eiar, eiarinos). Late spring was the usual campaign season in Greece when peace was most at risk. Eirene was one of three Horai, goddesses of the seasons and the keepers of the gates of heaven.
Eirene was part of contest on the FX-Sabers forum, known as the Alliance saber. The winning design was voted on and was to to brought to life by Acerocket of Orbital Machining.
It was sold as a bare metal hilt to be assembled by a sabersmith of your choice. I chose to do it my self. I powdercoated the main shroud in a glossy Black as well as the accent rings. The crystal is a color treated quartz crystal illuminated by a 5mm white led. The accent strip was done by a member of the FX-Sabers Forum and is back lit by a 5mm white led as well. Eirene is powered by the Novasound 3.0. It's an ok board. There are a couple things I'd like to see fixed on it. It overheats when using a Luxeon 3 led with 7.2 volts and there is a click in the hum cycle. For the price it's not bad but these issues need to be addressed. I do like the fact that it doesn't require an auxiliary switch for the blaster blocks. The main led is an RGB P5 mixed to a shade of Blurple. Here are some pics. Enjoy:
