The Electro-staff is a pole-like melee weapon The duralloy shaft is strong enough to block bladed and blunt weapons, but when activated, the electrically charged tips on either end of the staff can withstand and hold up against strikes from a lightsaber. Beyond this, the tips can be set to either a "stun" setting or a deadly discharge that could stop a sentient's heart after five full seconds of contact.
The handle of this weapon is equipped with a generator that sends constant electromagnetic pulses to the weapon's striking surface during use. While active, the striking surface of [this item] can parry lightsaber blades; however, the rest of the weapon is vulnerable to a lightsaber's plasma blade.
This Electro-staff has been built using a locking, telescopic construction, allowing Electro-staff to be carried on a belt.
The handle on this Electro-staff has been fitted with an ion cell, allowing Electro-staff to discharge ions along the striking area of the weapon and deal greater damage to droids or electrical components.
Electro-staff has seen combat, and it shows, with marks scarring the body on the weapon, and minor damage in the form of scratches and dents unrepaired since they had no impact on the functionality of this Electro-staff.
