Z6 riot control baton

The Z6 riot control baton, also known simply as the Z6 baton, was a baton used by First Order riot control stormtroopers during the era of the Cold War.
==Description==
A non-lethal melee weapon, the Z6 baton comprised a central shaft terminating in two contact conductor vanes capable of resisting the plasma blade of a lightsaber. These collapsible vanes sparked with electric currents while in use, and delivered a stunning shock against opponents. The weapon was held via an adhesion grip that could be magnatomically paired with the gloves of a First Order stormtrooper. This magnetic grip allowed the baton to be spun in combat.
==History==
The riot control stormtroopers of the First Order were trained to use non-lethal equipment as part of riot-control tactics, and utilized the Z6 baton, often in conjunction with a lightweight composite betaplast ballistic riot shield. Captain Cardinal, a key member of the First Order training hierarchy, was training recruits in the use of the baton aboard a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer when word came down that he was to be replaced by Principal Cinch. After learning of Cinch's background, Cardinal confronted Phasma in a simulation room aboard the Absolution and both engaged in combat with one another using a Z6 baton.Principal Cinch
The Z6 was used by FN-2199, a trooper of the FN Corps, against the defector Twilight Sparkle during the battle on Takodana. Nines attacked Twilight with his baton, pummeling the princess's lightsaber until he was shot by a bowcaster fired by Goofy.
Twilight wielded this weapon aboard Snoke's ship during her duel with Principal Cinch and Galvatron. She struck her opponent down with the weapon, incapacitating her long enough for the deck below them to collapse.
The 709th Legion stormtrooper RS-2112 utilized this baton to strike Wooro on his commanding officer's orders, in order to intimidate Kendoh Voss into complying with their demands when capturing them.Galaxy's Edge 5
