Type 1 Lightsword

The Type-1 Lightsword is a light-based weapon used for cutting or slicing targets in a fashion similar to the Covenant's Energy Sword . It is most commonly used as the primary weapon of the Gardexian Royal Guard, as well as a standard issue, secondary weapon of the Gardexian Archangels.
==Technology==
The mechanism is a cross between a Jedi's lightsaber and a Covenant energy sword. The hilt houses a power supply of the same kinds of crystals used by the Jedi to power their signature weapon, and the emitter forms a semi-triangular ionized 'blade' of focused electron based gas, which is held in form by micro-magnetic field generators housed at the blade emiitter. The blade itself if powerful enough to put gashes through starship armor, although like the lightsaber, cortosis and any similar compounds or elements that snuff the energy on contact causes no damage and deactivates the sword for a short period of time.
==Remarks==
*"For what sounds like a glorified glowstick, this thing really lives up to its reputation. Was able to slice a Krogan in half with it. A Krogan! Even I can't believe I did it!"
*"As much as I am a fan of a Jedi's lightsaber, or that key shaped sword the Covenant used, the Lightsword is one helluva blade."
*"I was able to get my hands on one scavenged from the Gardexians' war with the Covenant, and then use it, and only it, to fend off some Xordans I pissed off."
