Mirshir'jika is a combination vibrowhip and shock whip made from miriskin leather strips woven together into a whip and wrapped in a firbercord made of cortosis-weave flexisteel. It has superconductive wiring for the vibration generator at the tip and the shock whip property, which can be activated separately or simultaneously.
The whip resists Force abilities that directly target it, which is particularly useful when a sorcerer attempts to use telekinesis to disarm you of the weapon. The cortosis in the fibercord allows it to be used against lightsaber wielders.
The weapon itself requires specialized training to wield, lest you risk harming yourself, though it is a bit easier to use as a simple grappling device.
The whip was designed to fight Force users, especially Jedi and Sith, who predominantly use lightsabers in combat.
The idea came about when the telekinesis trick was used against Sahan's grappling line, preventing him from being able to use it properly.
