An electrostaff is a double weapon: Each end has an electromagnetic pulse generator that discharges upon impact, allowing it to deal blunt-force wounds. If desired, either electromagnetic pulse can be set to stun its target instead. The staff is made of a resilient phrik alloy that gives it DR 20; this damage reduction applies even against lightsaber attacks.
Electrostaffs are not common except during the Clone Wars. The IG-100 Series MagnaGuard droid typically carries an electrostaff.
An electrostaff requires two energy cells to operate.
