The Covenant

According to the new Waypoint entry on the Covenant, the "control and usage of hard light" was one of the Forerunner technologies they reverse-engineered. This, of course, goes against the Minister of Discovery's statement in Wages of Sin. I'm not sure how we should approach this—as an outright conflict, or making a compromise saying the Covenant could use hard light to a limited extent (the holo-drones could be an example) but nowhere near the level of the Forerunners. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:56, 12 November 2014 (EST)

High Charity only had gravity bridges, as they're called in Broken Circle. The energy sword's nature doesn't seem at risk of being retconned, as every technical source so far still identifies it as a plasma weapon, including the new Waypoint entry. The only mention of it being hardlight was an offhand comment by one of the gameplay designers IIRC. While it's possible the holodrones are Forerunner tech, the Covenant were clearly aware of them (including their name) and didn't seem to be particularly humbled or impressed by them. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 02:32, 12 November 2014 (EST)
