The Purge Electrohammer is a large two-handed weapon composed of two metal shafts attached at the bottom and the top near a thin hammer-like striking head, with a cylindrical power cell attached to the base of one of the weapon's shafts. A deadly electromagnetic charge is run from the base of the weapon up the forward shaft and across the front of the hammer head, making the weapon capable of blocking a lightsaber. When the hammer-head is swung at the ground, it emits a powerful shockwave upon impact that can stun enemies. 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.
