Force Pikes

A force pike is a meter long weapon that includes a slim hilt and blade that is charged with a type of energy, which runs in a closed electrical circuit. When the blade connects with skin it is capable of cauterization, or even severing straight through a limb, though most damage is taken through electicution. However, a force pike has more than one advantage: it has the ability to discharge a bolt of energy at range and parry a lightsaber, the chosen weapon of the Jedi.
Force pikes vary in size and shape. Some even have sharp blades, adding further melee damage, though the Republic's version, issued only to Republic Troops, is much more the standard. Many planets have outlawed force pikes, especially in the Republic, making it illegal to own, purchase, or sell them.
