The Paegaas Workshop War Hammer (UNSC Type classification: Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer, T-2 EW/H),[2] more commonly known as the gravity hammer, is a melee weapon developed by Paegaas Workshop.[1] It was manufactured by the Sacred Promissory on High Charity following the Jiralhanae's absorption into the Covenant.[4]
Overview
Design details
The Paegaas Workshop War Hammer is one of the many gravity hammers variants manufactured by the Covenant; the aesthetic and operational design of the Paegaas Workshop gravity hammer is tailored for eponymous clan.[2][4] As with other variants of the gravity hammer, the Paegaas Workshop gravity hammer integrates the traditional Jilrahanae-bladed war hammer with repurposed Covenant gravity impellers.[1] In addition to the tungsten-alloy blade attached to the reverse side of the hammer, the hammerhead contains a short-range gravity drive,[2] allowing the wielder displace gravity at a targeted location—though conventional manipulation of the weapon typically eliminates the need for such extraordinary use.[4]
Usage
The gravity hammer served dual purposes as a weapon as well as a defining ceremonial vestige of clan leadership, and is thus typically wielded by a chieftain or other high-ranking members.[4] The Paegaas Workshop variant was used by the Jiralhanae forces deployed to the continent of Eposz on Reach during the Covenant's assault on the planet in 2552.[3]
