Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
The Zhaboka was a double-bladed sword that originated from Iridonia. It was a Zabrak ceremonial weapon that originated as a plain wooden quarterstaff and later evolved into a frightening bladed weapon. It was similar to a double-bladed sword but with lighter and smaller blades allowing the wielding of the weapon with greater speed. It was an ancient weapon, dating back to before the Mandalorian Wars, and incorporated a detachable central grip.
To the Zabrak, the zhaboka held deep cultural value, as they historically wielded it while riding their war mounts, the reeks.
Darth Maul, a Zabrak Sith Lord, drew upon his species' penchant for this weapon when training with his double-bladed lightsaber.
