Neuronic whip

Legends Canon version → Linked from 27 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The neuronic whip was a creation of TholCorp, the purpose of which was to send powerful electrical charges into a being's nerve cells, causing a great deal of pain and trauma.

It was a long, flexible cable, connected to a power pack in a handle that delivered a stunning jolt on contact. Unlike a typical leather whip, the heavy cable could crack bones and break flesh, although death was an extremely unlikely outcome.

Neuronic whips were popular amongst slavers. The Mytaranor Slaving Council used them extensively after their leader Talas Piran found a cache of them in a hidden compartment of the recently acquired ship the Vanquisher. Imperial Dungeoneers also used neuronic whips.
