Yinn's Maw is a specialized Sith blade, long ago created, and wielded by, Sith Warlord Verba Yinn. Yinn was a ruthless, vicious man, but also a pragmatist: he realized that every man he killed meant that much force would not be added to his own. He wished for a way to not only destroy his enemies, but to steal their strength and add it to his own.
After consulting with his alchemists, months of research and work gave birth to the Maw. Yinn's Maw is a vicious weapon, fully in tune with the Dark Side of the force. It can steal the force of those it kills and transfer it to its user. After Yinn's death, the Maw changed hands several times, always drawing its wielder fully into the dark side, and leaving no legacy but one of death and destruction. It has lain in an ancient Sith mausoleum for centuries, and there it should stay. There are those who would wish to find it, so that they may use it's dark powers for thier own uses, or to deliever to thier master, Palpatain.
Those who have seen it say that the Maw seems to draw you to it, with a seductive, coldly-warm sensation. The handle is smooth, and black as night seeming to have been carved from bone, human bone. There are runes carved into the handle, and they seem to glow at the touch. Out of one end of the handle extends a long blade, which shines, no matter how much light there is. The blade curves slightly, then bends sharply, forming a hook, which is for disarming an opponent, or causing a nasty wound. From the other end of the blade extends a shorter blade, this one thin and needle-like.
It feels
warm...unnaturally warm. The blade calls you, commanding you to take it
up, to revel in its power. It feels warm...unnaturally warm. The blade calls you, commanding you to take it up, to revel in its power. You can feel its dark side energies grasping at you...and you resist. I turned away, and rushed back out of the mausoleum. After I lift off in my ship, I wiped its memory banks of all traces of this place. No one should ever be allowed to find that blade. (Shudders) No one....

At this time, it is not in the possession of the Emperor. It is being sought (along with other items) by members of the Inquisitus, as well as a number of private collectors, many who do know believe it's legends.
