The energy stave is a Covenant ceremonial melee weapon. It is used exclusively by the Honor Guard Sangheili and Jiralhanae and Light of Sanghelios. It is a long metal staff, and has a forked tip with a series of glowing panels.[1][2] While regular Honor Guardsmen use more elaborate staves featuring ornate panels similar in color to the glowing armor panels of their wielders, Sangheili Minors assigned to guard duties have been known to wield more ascetic versions of these weapons with more simplistic, blue-glowing panels.[3]
The energy stave mostly serves a ceremonial purpose as opposed to a combat one; the stave has been used as an actual offensive weapon in rare cases only. The Honor Guard Sangheili mostly use Plasma Rifles, Energy Swords, and Covenant Carbines in real combat. However, they were used by Jiralhanae to subdue any Unggoy and Kig-yar that came too close to the Council Chamber during one of the High Prophet of Truth's sermons regarding the discovery of the "Sacred Icon".[2]
