There are 2 models, jedi_adsm (version with mandalorian helm), and jedi_adsms (version with hair rather than helm).

The first model has 2 head varients, head_a1, the helm, head_a3, no helm or hair.
The second model has 8 head varients, _a1 sintra white hair, _a2 sintra black hair, _a3 no hair, _a4 white tintable, _a5 black tintable, _a6 ginger, _a7 white reverse tint, _a8 black reverse tint.

You get 3 basic suit colours (lightside bluegreen, neutral gray, darkside black), in 3 slightly different cuts (baremidriff & shoulders, bare shoulders, full suit), with a choice of 3 different skin tones (lightside, darkside, and extreme sith queen). This makes up the 27 torso variations, torso_a1a - torso_c3c, first letter the colour, numder is the cut, last letter the skin tone. The suits are all playerchoice/mp-team colour tintable.

There is also a 'bonus' suit colour, used for the hoth outfit, and available as an icon selection on the standard MP character selection screen, the Galaxy's LEAST stealthy holofield stealth suit... Just a bit of fun that's great in snowstorms...

There are 8 lower variations, lower_a1 - lower_a4, 2 holsters, right holster, left holster, no holsters, all with the jetpack. The _b1 - _b4 variations are without the jetpack.

So, from the MP console, "model jedi_adsms/head_a2|torso_a2a|lower_b4" whould give you black hair, lightside suit with bare shoulders, no holsters or jetpack.

Custom 'saber' hilts. You get 3 hilts, Sintra Darkforce, a light girly single saber, the Aesthetic Single Saber, and the Aesthetic Dual Saber. The Aesthetic Dual is also available in a 'Darklance Asymetrical Sith Assault Saber' configuration. The 'Aesthetic' saber hilts feature playerchoice/team colour tinting and animated lights so they colour co-ordinate with your outfit.

Darklance Saber Varients - Asymetrical Staff Saber. Blade lengths 36/18 (thats a total of 54, shorter than a standard staff saber). Does slight increased damage on the main blade, slightly more on the short back blade. The ready stance, kata and special moves are non standard (practice BEFORE that important duel).

A word on 'game balancing'. Darklance sabers differ from standard sabers, BUT... Standard single saber - blade len 40 * damage scale 1 = 40, Darklance single blade mode -blade len 36 * damage scale 1.1 = 39.6. Standard staff saber - 2 * blade len 32 * damage scale 1 = 64, Darklance dual blade mode - (blade len 36 * damage scale 1.1) + (blade len 18 * damage scale 1.5) = 66.6. Total difference between Darklance and Standard sabers is very small. Darklance varients are also slightly modded for anim speed, for that 'combat monster adrenalin junkie' look.

These are not super sabers, they won't turn you into a 'leet saber god'. If you're crap, you will still be crap, but, for those of you who are skilled, and take the time to aclimatise, these sabers should offer you a cool look, and fast and furious combat.

There are 4 bots included, each with improved weapon skills, force powers, and speed, and each further toward the Dark Side, and 4 NPC's for SP play (open the console 'npc spawn Padawan-Sintra' or Jedi-Sintra or Sith-Sintra or Darth-Sintra). The NPC's definition file is in a separate pk3, in case you have too many npc's installed (eg. you get the message 'cannot spawn npc weequay' in SP mode).

Base texture maps were frankenskinned from the original sintra textures by NeoMarz and the Asajj textures by Tobe (both original readme's included in the archive), sounds are the female stormtrooper (Tavion with coms effect) from SkorpDK's FemStormy skin pack (no readme in the original to include here).

Everything else is MY fault...
