Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas carried a wooden quarterstaff that offered support to his aged physical being. When the need for combat arose, Master Baas imbued his staff with the power of the Force, whereupon the cane served him in place of a lightsaber.
In 3997 BBY, Master Baas' staff was broken while sparring with one of his students, the Human Exar Kun. Baas repaired his walking stick, but forewent using it in combat for a time. Exar Kun would later go on to become a Dark Lord of the Sith and instigate the Great Sith War where he committed countless atrocities against the citizens of the Galactic Republic. It was then that Vodo-Siosk Baas chose to take up his staff again in preparation for an encounter with the former student whose fall to the dark side of the Force Baas felt responsible for.
The Krevaaki Jedi confronted Kun on Coruscant and engaged him in a duel. However, when the Dark Lord ignited the second blade of his recently redesigned lightsaber, Master Baas' staff was unable to withstand repeated blows from Kun's double-bladed weapon. The wooden staff was shattered yet again, and the cleaving strike followed through to slay its owner as well.
