In Sangheili culture, Aristocrats are the only ones permitted to wield an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] outside the military. Upon being given their title, Aristocrats have the suffix "-ai" added to their name; this is not replaced by the "-ee" suffix if they enter military service. Once an Aristocrat is given his personal energy sword, he is no longer eligible for marriage for ceremonial reasons, but is permitted to mate with any female they wish, married or unmarried, in order to pass his "Swordsman" genes down to the next generation and kin | In Sangheili culture, Aristocrats are the only ones permitted to wield an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] outside the military.
