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.
Purge Electrobaton has had every external component painted black as night. This allows this Purge Electrobaton to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
The handle on this Purge Electrobaton has been modified with a cell recognizer and trapped handle. When an unauthorized user grabs Purge Electrobaton, several spikes erupt from the hilt and stab the holder's hand.
Purge Electrobaton has had as much material as possible removed and replaced with far denser material, increasing the weight of this Purge Electrobaton as much as possible while attempting to maintain overall balance.
