Force Maelstrom, also known as Force Bombard, was a devastating combination of the powers Protection bubble, Telekinesis, and Force lightning. First, the user would form a Force Bubble around their body, concealing and protecting them inside. Then, any loose objects/persons around the user would swirl around the bubble, through telekinesis. Finally, the user would devastate the objects by blasting them away with a shock wave of energy accompanied by a surge of Force lightning.
Darth Malgus was proficient in this ability, using it to devastating effect on the unprepared enemy. Millennia later, Darth Sidious mastered this ability, using it as a stepping stone to achieve mastery of the much more powerful Force storm in his later years. Members of Emperor Palpatine's black cloaked Shadow Guard also used this power, as did the Sith apprentice Galen Marek.
