The lightsaber pike, also known as lightsaber lance, was a unique weapon that resembled a primitive poleaxe in many aspects. The long handle of the weapon was made of phrik alloy, which allowed it to resist lightsabers. At the end of the handle was a lightsaber blade that was shorter and thicker than a normal one. The blade could be activated by a switch further down the weapon's haft. Including the blade, the weapon was almost as long as the wielder's body, and could keep enemies at a distance, giving the wielder the advantage of a longer reach.
[edit] History
Lightsaber pikes were used extensively by the Emperor's Shadow Guard, although the Emperor's Royal Guard and Imperial Senate Guard were also known to use them on occasion. Kazdan Paratus also used a blue-bladed lightsaber pike.
