The lirpa is an ancient Vulcan ritual weapon. It is an unusual weapon. It consists of a staff-like shaft about 160 cm long with a crescent-shaped blade on one end and a weighted club on the other. Its only common uses today are as a martial arts exercise and during during the pon farr madness, on those rare occasions when the ancient rites of mating combat are invoked.
