Shock whip

A shock whip was an electrical melee weapon similar in appearance and purpose to a neuronic whip, or the lightwhip favored by Force-sensitives.



The shock whip was comprised of a metal grip from which extended a thickly woven metal wire roughly four meters in length. When activated via a control on the handgrip, the internal power cell would send an intense electrical charge through the whip. Wielders were known to wrap their foes in the metal wire before activating the electric charge.

Darth Maleval was highly proficient with a shock whip, and used it in conjunction with his lightsaber during the Battle of Borosk. He attempted to kill Hondo Karr with this weapon following a perceived betrayal, though he was shot in the back by Anson Trask before his shock whip could inflict any major damage. Padmé Amidala was also known to carry a shock whip during the Clone Wars, and used it during a mission to uncover evidence of Senator Bezz Drexx's dealings with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
