- Primary Source: None
- Manufacturer: Fire For Effect, Closed Market
- Affiliation: Fire For Effect, The Triad
- Model: Tri-Pike or the Triad-Pike SPS
- Modularity: No
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Durasteel Staff | Songsteel Coating | Mullinine Spear Tip
- Classification: Force Spear
- Size: Large
- Weight: Average
- Saber Resistant for a single fight, it will eventually wear down and break if hit enough. Being lightweight for its size makes it vulnerable to heavy mauls, hammers and crushing weapons damaging it in the same way.
- Retractable tip to form a nonlethal quarterstaff if required.
- Wookie-Level Stun charge delivered on the bottom quarter of the weapon.
- Cheap and easy to produce, making for a simple, reliable weapon.
- Resistant, to lightsabers for a single battle, and able to reflect blaster bolts to a limited degree.
- Long Reach, good for getting the first strike, avoiding being hit, blocking a doorway or hitting a mounted opponent.
- Delivering a strong Wookie-Level stun charge on contact with the bottom quarter of the weapon.
- The Pike won't last more than a single fight with a lightsaber user, and will sometimes break if hit enough by one during the fight.
- Long pike weapons like spears can be broken if trapped correctly. This one is made of durasteel but not indestructible to kinetic force given the weight for its size. If the attacker can avoid the stun!
- Being lightweight makes it vulnerable to heavier melee weapons in regular combat. It's not built of wood but enough hits with something heavy like a hammer or maul will cause damage.
Nothing beats a cheap reliable quarterstaff that has the added benefit of stunning angry people and not weighing you down like a bantha. Force Pikes are known to be able to knock out a Wookiee with an electric shock equivalent to saying hello to a speedertruck, and were the preferred choice of Emperor Palpatine's royal guard, along with certain slavers looking to herd their cargo more easily.
Although the designers went for reliable rather than complicated, the Tri-Pike has the ability to stun, pierce or inflict blunt trauma. Having three damage types is impressive for how simply the weapon is designed, a retractable Mullinine spear tip for piercing, the stun effect present in all force pikes, or just the blunt impact of a quarterstaff in combat are all possible uses for the Pike.
FFE advise this be your backup weapon, one that you rely on when the odds are against you, or you need something that simply works. It's got a good reach if you are facing a stronger opponent and is long enough to keep more dangerous foes at bay entirely till help arrives. Stun weapons are new territory for the company and so far they have mixed feelings. There are no explosions with this weapon, but it knocks out Wookiees, so it can't be all bad. A good solid choice for when your gun is overheating, your lightsaber met a cortosis killjoy or you really want to block your front door.
