==Description==
==Description==
The weapon was a silver, claw-shaped device that generated a hard-light blade, capable of firing bolts of energy. When multiple weapons were used in conjunction, they could apparently combine their energy bolts to form a single large blade-like projectile that sliced through the air.{{Ref/Reuse|origins}}
It was a white, claw shaped device that fired a bright blue bolt of energy. Upon activation the weapon generated what appeared to be a blade of some sort, capable, as previously stated, of firing bolts of energy. When multiple weapons were used in conjunction, they could apparently combine their energy bolts to form a single large blade-like projectile that sliced through the air.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The means of activating the weapon is remarkably similar to that of the [[Sangheili]] [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]]. It is possible that the weapon inspired the operational design and power supply of the energy sword.
*The weapon's hilt is similar in design to a [[Constructor]].
*The means of activating the weapon is remarkably similar to that of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]]. It is possible that the weapon inspired the design of the energy sword.
