Bo-rifle

The bo-rifle was a type of weapon that uniquely combined the functions of an electrostaff and a blaster rifle, intended for exclusive use by the Honor Guard of Lasan. It was considered a great insult if it was used by anyone else. It consisted of a staff that could be collapsed to a length roughly equivalent to a standard blaster rifle. When extended, the weapon's tip(s) were electrified, up to 11,000 volts, either purple or yellow in color and were the primary contact points of the weapon during melee combat. The number of tips on the weapon depended on the model (AB-75 and J-19 had two, the CJ-9 had one). The weapon was then a quarterstaff when used in melee combat. When retracted or folded, the weapon functioned as a blaster rifle.

Following the devastation of Lasan, bo-rifles were rarely seen in the galaxy, although some would later fall into the hands of both the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire.

Agent Kallus, a member of the Galactic Empire's Imperial Security Bureau, acquired his J-19 bo-rifle via the Boosahn Keeraw: the warrior way of the Lasat species in which a Lasat gifted their weapon to their opponent after being defeated in combat.
