The energy stave[1] is a Covenant melee weapon, consisting of a long metal staff and a bladed tip with a series of glowing panels. Different variants of the energy stave are used for both practical and ceremonial purposes.[2][3]
Types
Ceremonial stave
Ceremonial energy staves feature an elaborate, forked tip with ornate panels similar in color to the glowing armor panels of their wielders. They are used exclusively by the Honor Guard Sangheili, Jiralhanae and the Lights of Sanghelios.[4][1]
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 combat. However, they were used by Jiralhanae to subdue any Unggoy and Kig-Yar that came too close to the High Council Chamber during one of the High Prophet of Truth's sermons regarding the discovery of the "Sacred Icon".[4]
Non-ceremonial stave
This version of the energy stave is more ascetic in design than the ceremonial stave. Metallic gray in overall coloration, it incorporates a twin-bladed tip with blue paneling. Unlike the ceremonial staves only used by Honor Guards, these weapons can also be wielded by regular Sangheili, including Minors. During the Battle of Shield 0459, a group of Sangheili guards assigned to protect the Apex Site on Shield World 0459 were equipped with energy staves.[3]
