Trivia

 * In the Arthurian Legends, 'Galatine' is the name of the sword given to Sir Gawain by the lady of the lake. It is referred to as 'Shadow to Excalibur's light'.
 * It resembles the Power Sword from He-Man. This was acknowledged by DE in the redtext before the update.
 * Upon deploying the hotfix, the redtext feed from DE described the Galatine as "a sword so big your friends might think you're overcompensating for something, while secretly they know you are not."
 * Since update 13 arrived, the new changes on the Galatine were thought to be nerfs until further research shown that is has retained its high damage out put by using the Cleaving Whirlwind stance mod. Users have reported hiting over 100k crit damage on Lv30 targets alone.

Bugs

 * Some mods may not save after editing. (To fix this, relog and they should be saved)
 * Upon selecting the players preference of color, then highlighting your primary, the weapon will appear to have the default color scheme. (UI bug)
 * The icon displayed shows the Galatine with red energy, but the default energy color is the standard Tenno energy blue.
