Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Unknown Regions
Similar to the more common Electrostaff, the Electropole is an electrified melee weapon used primarily by the Gungans of Naboo and the picadors on Geonosis. Both cultures use the weapon for herding beasts as well as in battle.
Unlike the standard Electrostaff and the Force Pike, the Electropole can be thrown like a javelin. Experienced users often keep two or three Electropoles within reach when expecting trouble, one for close combat and the rest to be thrown at the enemy.
Gungans are considered proficient with the Electropole if they have the Weapon Proficiency (Simple Weapons) feat. An Electropole requires two Energy Cells to operate.
