The Purge Electrobaton is a one-handed blunt weapon composed of a sword-shaped shaft attached to a black metal handle with a switch, and has a power cell attached to the base. A deadly electromagnetic charge is run from the top of the handle up to the top of either side of the striking area, making the weapon capable of blocking a lightsaber. Some of these weapons were used by Imperial Purge Troopers during the Jedi Purge.
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.
