The majority of the individuals that wielded the shock whip were slavers like the Zygerrians, who utilized them in dealing with disobedient slaves. Queen Miraj Scintel carried a whip with retractable cord that, when not in use, laid coiled in the handle. The Queen wielded this whip with great proficiency and it was later used by Anakin Skywalker after Scintel was killed by Count Dooku.
