'''Plasma beam emitters''' are a a kind of [[Plasma weaponry|plasma weapon]] used by the [[Covenant starship|starships]] of [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|remnant]]s. They are in essence, scaled-down [[plasma lance]]s serving as [[Capital ship|capital]]-grade, general-purpose, anti-starship weapons that can additionally be used in a role similar to that of [[excavation beam]]s. In practice, they fire focused and continuous beams of controlled [[plasma]] at targets.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=261}} | '''Plasma beam emitters''' are a a kind of [[Plasma weaponry|plasma weapon]] used by the [[Covenant starship|starships]] of [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|remnant]]s.

While similar conceptually, plasma beam emitters should not be mistaken for [[plasma beam laser]]s; the latter serve on a similar operational principle but on a much smaller scale, working instead as [[Point-defense gun|point-defence weapons]] for their charges.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | While similar conceptually, plasma beam emitters should not be mistaken for [[plasma beam laser]]s; the latter serve on a similar operational principle but on a much smaller scale, working instead as [[Point-defense gun|point-defence weapons]] for their charges.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
