The '''Energy Projector''' is a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] weapon used exclusively by large ships. It fires a thin beam of energized matter which has a very long range and is extremely accurate and destructive, capable of destroying ships effortlessly and "[[Glassing|glassing]]" planets, systematically rendering them sterile and incapable of sustaining life.

==History==
The energy projector was first encountered during the [[Second Battle of Harvest]], where it was used by a [[Covenant Battleship|Covenant battleship]]. It was more frequently seen in later years, such as during the [[Harvest]] [[Harvest Campaign|campaign]] and [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. Throughout the course of the [[Fall of Reach|Covenant invasion of Reach]], the population centres suffered tremendous structural damage due to the Covenant's glassing of the planet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[New Alexandria]]''</ref>. Similarly, several frigates fall prey to the energy projectors during the engagement.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref>

Near the end of the Human-Covenant War, the use of the energy projector fall short compared to the early stages of the war. The [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Regret's Carrier|assault carrier]] used one to destroy the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet's]] temple after he had been assassinated by the [[John-117]] on [[Installation 05]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> In the [[Battle of Earth]], the city of [[New Mombassa]] was glassed to uncover [[The Portal|the artifact]]. Later, the city of [[Voi]] was glassed by the [[Fleet of Retribution]] to stop a [[Flood]] infestation.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>

===Operation===
The weapon fires a thin beam of extremely powerful and energetic particles. It is possible to predict when an energy projector is about to fire as it typically charges the beam before firing, creating a visible maelstrom of energy. The beam has an effective range of over 100,000 kilometers. They resemble pulse lasers but are tinged silver white, which is similar to the scintillation effect that is seen when a Covenant ship's energy shields are hit. The energy projector's beam is seen as only a needle-thin beam that travels at light speed. The energy projector's long range allows a ship armed with such weapons to 'snipe' targets during ship-to-ship combat. The weapon has been observed to gut UNSC ships from stem to stern, as happened to the [[UNSC Frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCship|Gettysburg}} over Reach.<ref name="for"/><ref>'''''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''''</ref>

===Effects===
Against UNSC vessels, the weapon is able to pierce dozens of centimeters of [[Titanium-A]] armor with comparative ease, rendering any form of physical defense useless. Therefore, a single hit or perforation can potentially disable or destroy vital systems, such as the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] or engines, as seen during the [[Battle of Earth]] when a single pulse from an [[Assault Carrier|assault carrier's]] dorsal energy projector crippled a [[Marathon-class Cruiser|''Marathon''-class cruiser]]. If an energy projector strikes in a critical area, such as the reactors of a ship, it could destroy the ship completely. The energy projector's beam is also able to take down the shields of a [[Covenant Frigate|Covenant frigate]] or [[Covenant Destroyer|destroyer]] with a single hit.{{Citation needed}}

The beam is functionally similar to the infantry-issued [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|particle beam rifle]], albeit on a vastly larger scale. It is also speculated that the beam can be focused to varying degrees. In space, the beam can be focused to a smaller, more concentrated, and thus more powerful beam generally used to decimate enemy fleets from afar. It also seems to drain all or most of the energy in a Covenant ship for a brief period unless the ship is big enough to supply the power without too much of a drain.

When [[Glassing#Low range bombardment|glassing]] a planet, the beam causes atmospheric and biospheric destruction by exciting the atoms in the air, thus scorching land and air life, and evaporating water with ease, suffocating aquatic life and destabilizing the planet's surface temperature. Therefore, merely firing it through the air would cause biospheric destruction on a planetary scale. In addition, the excitement of atoms could chemically alter the atmosphere or even blow it away.{{Citation needed}}

===Distribution===
According to [[Frederic-104]], "Only the big ships have them." [[Reverence-class Cruiser|''Reverence''-class cruisers]], [[Covenant Supercruiser|supercruisers]], [[Assault Carrier|assault carriers]], [[Covenant Supercarrier|supercarriers]] and [[CCS-class Battlecruiser|''CCS''-class battlecruisers]] are known to be equipped with energy projectors. Carriers are armed with one energy projector underneath the bow, one on their dorsal sides, and one near the [[Gravity Lift|gravity lift]]. ''CCS''-class battlecruisers feature one under the bow and one near the gravity lift.

==Halo Wars==
In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the [[Prophet of Regret]] uses the '''Cleansing Beam''' as his leader power. An orbiting vessel "[[Glassing|glasses]]" the target, and has the power to destroy almost anything. The weapon's capabilities can be upgraded to progressively increase power and decrease supply usage at the [[Temple (Covenant)|temple]]. The upgrades are named ''Regret's Sentence'', ''Regret's Doom'', and ''Regret's Condemnation'', respectively.

To use it, the player must select the Prophet of Regret and press the '''Y''' button. The player can then use the left thumbstick to move the beam around the Prophet's field of view. The Cleansing Beam can damage all units, including the player's and allies' forces; however, Regret himself cannot be damaged by the beam. The beam's color is dependent upon the player's team color.

==Trivia==
*Interestly enough, the projector's color is not the same in all games. In [[Halo 2]], it is purple colored, in [[Halo 3]], [[Halo 3: ODST]] and [[Halo Wars]] is blue, while in [[Halo: Reach]], there are some projectors which are red, and some which are blue, though it may just be an indicator of the intensity of the beam used and the class of ship using it.

-Energy projectors employ the use of [[gravitics|gravitic impellors]] and magnetic lensing to accelerate, focus and direct beams of high-intensity plasma generated by the ship's [[pinch fusion reactor]]. The most powerful energy projectors form tight beam lances for excavation and cutting, while lesser mechanisms emit streams of plasma which are bent towards targets using magnetic fields.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=90}} When preparing to fire, energy projectors employ targeting vanes that iris into position around a magnetized muzzle, ready to direct the plasma they fire.{{Ref/Novel|HSoI}} This charging period is signified with a buildup of plasma around the targeting mechanism and a bright glow, before the firing sequence commences.
-Some classes of Covenant [[space station]]s also carry energy projectors as their main defensive capability; one of the few known instances of this was when the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} encountered a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant battlestation]] orbiting the gas giant [[Oth Lodon]] in [[2558]]. In this engagement the station, commandeered by [[Insurrectionist]]s of the [[New Colonial Alliance]] fired the station's main energy projector upon the UNSC flagship, severely damaging it with a single shot. This particular projector was mounted upon the station's central "tower", allowing for maximum range and effect against approaching targets.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE5|HEsc|Issue=5}}

-There are multiple kinds of energy projector used by the Covenant. In the same way that [[coilgun]] technology is used by [[human]]ity in a wide variety of applications ranging from small [[point-defense gun]]s to gargantuan [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, so do energy projectors for the Covenant.
-===Excavation beams===
+===Operation===
-{{Main|Excavation beam}}
+The weapon fires a thin beam of extremely powerful and energetic particles. It is possible to predict when an energy projector is about to fire as it typically charges the beam before firing, creating a visible maelstrom of energy. The beam has an effective range of over 100,000 kilometers.

The weapon has been observed to gut UNSC ships from stem to stern, as happened to the [[UNSC Frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCship|Gettysburg}} over Reach.<ref name="for"/><ref>'''''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''''</ref>
-Excavations beams serve aboard the largest Covenant ships as tools for mining and [[orbital bombardment]], and are as such typically placed on the ship's ventral surface - giving rise to the colloquialism "ventral beams". They are used on only the largest [[capital ship]]s, and can have their output dialled as such to excavate [[Forerunner]] artefacts with fine-tuned precision or obliterate ground installations with plasma until the surface is but glass.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
-Excavation beams are generally only equipped on the largest Covenant [[capital ship]]s; [[Covenant carrier|carriers]], [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] and [[Covenant destroyer|destroyers]] all see them as a standard fitting - with generally only one excavation beam per-ship (the {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}} serves as a notable exception to this rule, hosting multiple arrays of excavation beam).

-{{Main|Plasma lance}}
-Unlike excavation beams, plasma lances serve as a primary anti-[[warship]] weapon aboard the largest Covenant ships, serving in a role similar to the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s of [[humanity]]. Plasma lances fire tightly-focused streams of high-velocity plasma that deal damage via both thermal and kinetic means, able to bisect unshielded warships entirely.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
-Plasma lances are distributed more throughout the Covenant naval forces than excavation beams; while still predominantly used on larger warships, they also see some use on the smaller vessels of the Covenant too. Notable examples include the {{Pattern|Rothen|fireship}} and {{Pattern|Mutan Et|storm cutter}}.

In addition, the excitement of atoms could chemically alter the atmosphere or even blow it away.{{Citation needed}}
-{{Main|Plasma beam emitter}}
-Plasma beams function as a scaled down-form of plasma lance for use as a more general-purpose anti-ship weapon comparable in form to human [[Naval autocannon|naval coilgun]] turrets. They are found on most Covenant warships in higher numbers than plasma beams, and serve as a major weapon system for use in combat.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

''CCS''-class battlecruisers feature one under the bow and one near the gravity lift.
-Focus cannons are small-scale energy projectors used by the Covenant for [[Planetary warfare|ground warfare]] and excavation. Unlike their aforementioned counterparts, focus cannons are generally not mounted on starships, but instead on the ground vehicles of the Covenant. They are most prominently used on [[excavator]]s such as [[Locust]]s and [[Scarab]]s, though select heavy ground vehicles like the {{Pattern|Zashk|Draugr}} may also use them too.{{Ref/Site|Id=WPScarab|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/scarab|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Scarab|D=13|M=04|Y=2016}}
