Force energy refers to the Force when it is not being channeled by living beings, but is instead contained within objects or appears as a raw, unrefined power. Before the era of the Old Republic, Xesh, a Force Hound, utilized a surge of Force energy to inflict damage upon the power core of the Devourer, a Rakatan ship.
Objects like the Infant of Shaa and the Scepter of Ragnos served as vessels for storing Force energy. This energy could be employed offensively, either directly through items like the Scepter of Marka Ragnos, or unleashed as a destructive explosion, similar to the capabilities of the Infant of Shaa.
Remarkably strong Force-sensitives possessed the ability to tap into the Force's boundless energy and wield it for physical attacks. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo demonstrated this skill when they vanquished Marvid and Craitheus Qreph. Furthermore, following his resurrection, Darth Sidious' power had grown to such an extent that he could harm multiple attackers with a sustained burst of energy. During the Battle of Onderon in 11 ABY, after being underestimated by the young Jedi, Palpatine employed Force energy to fatally wound the Jedi Knight Empatojayos Brand and eliminate Rayf Ysanna.
