Ronin.
A former Dark Lord who turned his blade on his own Sith, then walked away from everything. The Ronin carries a sheathed red saber and a history he doesn't share — a wanderer of the Outer Rim from Star Wars: Visions.

Three Ronin designs from one era
A Wanderer Carrying the Weight of What He Built
Before the exile, before the wandering, he was the one who started it all — a boy trained in the Jedi way who grew into the Dark Lord that led the Sith rebellion, commanding armies that had broken from the Jedi clans entirely. He carried a red blade and a cause, and for a time, that was enough.
What broke the Dark Lord wasn't defeat — it was clarity. He looked at what the Sith rebellion had become under his leadership and chose to end it himself, turning on his own followers rather than let it continue. He renounced the Sith, shed the title he'd built, and stepped out of history altogether. The wanderer the galaxy came to know as the Ronin was born not from loss, but from refusal.
What followed was a life lived at the edge of the galaxy's memory — wandering the Outer Rim with only an astromech for company, hunting the Sith he'd once commanded, and carrying the weight of a daughter's voice he couldn't silence. His story exists entirely within Star Wars: Visions and Emma Mieko Candon's novel, and the three designs gathered here trace that solitary arc.
He walked away not in defeat — but in disgust.
Which Ronin lightsaber should I buy?
Three designs, two hilt styles, and three Saber Core tiers — baselit S-RGB for heavy duelling, neopixel SNV4 PRO or Xenopixel V3 for display, Proffie 2.2 for the builder who wants full control.
Which hilt is which
The Ronin SE and standard Ronin Lightsaber both draw from the wanderer's single appearance in Star Wars: Visions; the SE adds a Black and Silver colourway alongside the core Black. The separate Xenopixel V3 Ronin Lightsaber is a display-tier neopixel build in Black, distinct from the Proffie and SNV4 PRO versions of the standard design.
Which Saber Core
The Ronin SE and standard Ronin Lightsaber each come in three versions: S-RGB for heavy duelling at the baselit tier, SNV4 PRO for neopixel display and light duelling, and Proffie 2.2 for full programmability with a neopixel blade. The separate Xenopixel V3 Ronin Lightsaber is a single-version neopixel build — display and light duelling, no baselit or Proffie option.
Which suits you
S-RGB suits the duellist who wants to swing hard without hesitation. SNV4 PRO or Xenopixel V3 fits the cosplayer or display collector who wants full neopixel colour depth. Proffie 2.2 is the builder's choice — open to every custom font and configuration the dark-side aesthetic deserves.
