The Service Blade is a standard-issue, compact sword issued to security personnel, shipboard guards, and law enforcement units throughout many planetary systems. Built for reliability over flair, the blade features a straight, durable edge and a reinforced spine, typically measuring around 60–75 centimeters. It is designed to be quickly deployed in emergencies and combat situations where firearms are impractical—such as in crowded public areas, during boarding actions, or on vessels where explosive decompression is a risk. The Service Blade is known for its ruggedness, ease of maintenance, and functional lethality in short-range engagements.

While it shares core mechanics with other short blades like the Standard Shortsword or Gladius, the Service Blade distinguishes itself through seamless integration with utility-grade tech modules and body-armor systems. Users typically employ it in quick response tactics - closing distance with purpose, disabling opponents efficiently, and disengaging without wasted movement. This makes the Service Blade especially popular with operatives trained in controlled escalation, containment, and tactical suppression.
