A shock knife was a type of knife.[1] In 228 BBY,[2] Nihil Minister of Information Ghirra Starros owned a miniature shock knife, which she had with her when she visited a café on[1] the Core Worlds[3] planet Coruscant. As she drank cream tea, Starros mentally noted that if anything were to happen to her while at the café, she had the shock knife for defense, though she ended up not needing to use it.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
A shock knife was mentioned in the 2024 novel The High Republic: Temptation of the Force, written by Tessa Gratton and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[4]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic: Temptation of the Force takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, its events must be set in 228 BBY.
