Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword

The Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword, commonly known as the energy sword, is a close-quarters weapon of the Covenant Empire, used exclusively by high-ranking sangheili.
== Overview ==
The energy sword consists of a curved hilt, housing an energy storage module and a device for projecting the ionized gas which forms the blade. Upon activation, gas is released from the weapon's reservoir and channeled into the magnetic fields that give the blades their distinctive shape.
Injuries caused by the weapon are often gruesome. The victim's chance of survival is minimal at best and, in the case of non-lethal strikes being administered, proper medical treatment must be applied as soon as possible to ensure permanent survival. Because of the weapon's sheer destructive damage, common forms of fatality to victims include impalement, amputation, bisection, and decapitation.Category:Daisy-023
