Shock-filaments possessed the ability to deliver a stun charge to anyone who approached them closely. Force pikes utilized shock-filaments within the weapon's power tip, enabling them to stun a target who came within a distance of four centimeters from the tip. Xufal D'uat installed shock-filaments along the walls and floors of his Barloz-class medium freighter, the Venom Sting'. The activation of these stun charges was possible via a concealed panel located in the cockpit.
