The '''painglass saber''', known by [[Kig-Yar]] as ''[[Kig-Yar language|chiss-teh]]'',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=307}} is a [[Covenant]] [[melee]] weapon primarily used by the Kig-Yar for light skirmishes in close-quarter situations. It is an energized cutlass forged using a modified energy projector with a [[Subanese crystal]] shard that has been chemically treated and sharpened into a blade.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}{{Ref/Novel|CH|Chapter=6}} Used by Kig-Yar soldiers and [[piracy|pirates]] alike, they are considered to be very useful during [[boarding]] actions on hostile ships or in melee engagements in confined spaces.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 125''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|enc319}} | |||
The weapon is composed of a complex arrangement of chemicals, [[plasma]], alloys, and a crystal shard from [[Suban]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc319}} These blades house a complex chemical mixture within them that causes the blade to explode into shards when embedded into a soft target, similar to a fired [[Needler]] round. Before it explodes, the blade will begin to pulse with a rosy red color.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 130''</ref> | |||
The [[Unggoy]] also use them, as seen during the fighting on the [[Tiara]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 366''</ref> Energy cutlasses were used by several Kig-Yar during the [[Battle of Ariel]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> | The [[Unggoy]] also use them, as seen during the fighting on the [[Tiara]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 366''</ref> Energy cutlasses were used by several Kig-Yar during the [[Battle of Ariel]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Helljumper]]''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> | ||
