Station Security Baton

In the Murderbot Diaries, the Station Security Baton appears as a straightforward piece of equipment in Fugitive Telemetry, serving as a non-lethal extendable impact weapon issued to station security personnel. Lacking any electrical shock function, it is primarily deployed to manage aggressive or intoxicated humans without causing permanent harm. While it doesn't undergo significant evolution across the series—appearing only in this installment—it underscores the bureaucratic, low-tech realities of station security that contrast sharply with Murderbot's own advanced combat capabilities and hacking prowess. Its use highlights themes of restraint and protocol in environments where lethal force is often unnecessary but temptation for escalation remains high.
