+The '''energy garrote''' is an energy weapon used by [[Special Operations Officer]]s of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=335}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=349}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=307}}
-The '''Energy Garrote''' is a small two-piece cylinder that splits apart in the middle causing a green arc to form between the pieces. This weapon is commonly used to choke and burn an enemy quietly from behind. It is used mostly by [[Special Ops Elites]].
+==Overview==
+===Design details===
+Energy garrotes take the form of a small cylinder that splits apart down the middle into two pieces, with a bright-green [[plasma]] arc emitted to connect them. The energy beam is not powerful enough to cut through flesh, but does burn through the target's neck while it chokes them - allowing for silent kills in a matter of seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
-The Energy Garrote is not seen in any of the [[Halo games]]  in the series, but is used in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' by [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] to kill [[Rick Hale]], the pilot of a [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]], and take control of the craft to land at the human [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] on [[Installation 04]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 210</ref> It is so theorized that the Energy Garrote is factually a simple energized wire used to strangle the enemy by a silent choking death, similar to the modern day fiber-wire.
+==Operational history==
+An energy garrote was used during the opening stages of the [[Battle of Alpha Base]] by [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] to kill [[Rick Hale]], the pilot of a [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship. 'Zamamee took control of the craft and landed it and its complement of Special Operations Sangheili at the [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|the base]] on [[Installation 04]], kickstarting the Covenant attack.{{Ref/Novel|HTF|Chapter=8}}
