- "Obi-Wan... if I told you that he's incredibly well-defended and that his skills with a vibrowhip rival yours with a lightsaber–would you reconsider allowing me to fight at your side?"
- ―Aayla Secura[src]
Lord Xist was a Black Sun Vigo in New Coronet, Trigalis, during the Clone Wars. He worked for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, running weapons and intelligence. Obi-Wan Kenobi engaged a battle with Xist, handily defeating him. Knowing when he was beaten, Xist reluctantly gave Obi-Wan the coordinates to Drama Korr's freighter, revealing the truth behind Asajj Ventress's whereabouts.
Xist wielded a blue vibrowhip.
[edit] Behind the scenes
While Obsession clearly states that Xist uses a vibrowhip, there is some discrepancy among fans as to what the weapon really is, as it shows traits associated with a lightwhip–namely, its blue glow and the inability of Obi-Wan's lightsaber to sever it. Given this knowledge and the appearance of the weapon, one of two assumptions can be made: it is either indeed a vibrowhip, layered in cortosis, phrik or some other lightsaber-resistant material; or it is actually a lightwhip, mistakenly referred to as a vibrowhip by the writers of Obsession.
