Cortosis staff

The cortosis staff was a melee weapon produced by the Morgukai warriors&mdash;a sect of Kajain'sa'Nikto&mdash;for use in single combat against Jedi. The stave was crafted from cortosis ore, a mineral naturally resistant to a lightsaber.

The cortosis staff featured a short, extendable energy blade, similar to the electrostaffs wielded by IG-100 MagnaGuards during the Clone Wars. The staff could be used as a lethal spear, able to counter the advantage afforded by lightsaber-wielding opponents. Morgukai such as Tsyr and Bok carried such weapons, as did members of the Shadow Army on Saleucami.
