Static pike

Static pikes were a type of pike that emitted an electric charge. They were used by the Geonosian picadors of the Petranaki Arena on the planet Geonosis in order to control the various animals used for entertainment in the arena. In 22 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas picadors riding orrays used static pikes to control the reek, nexu, and acklay that were released into the arena in order to execute the prisoners Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padmé Amidala. One picador prodded the nexu with a static pike, prompting the creature to attack and kill the picador. After the execution expanded into the First Battle of Geonosis, Kenobi took a picador's static pike and hurled it like a javelin at the acklay, piercing its hide, but to little effect. During the battle, a number of Geonosian guards wielded static pikes against a group of Padawans and their masters in the stands of the arena.Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade
