The Domotos-pattern fireblade (UNSC Type classification: Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword, T-1 EW/S),[3] more commonly known as the energy sword, is a Covenant melee weapon manufactured by Assembly Forges and the Merchants of Qikost.[2][5]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: Energy sword (fiction)
The Domotos-pattern fireblade is one of the many energy sword variants manufactured by the Covenant. The Domotos-pattern is characterized by its angular contour and a rectangular hole along the inner edge of either blades.[2] The design for the blade's contour likely arose during the Writ of Union, as murals recording the event in Nuusra, Sanghelios, depicted ancient San'Shyuum and ancient Sangheili sharing blades of the same design.[10]
Usage[edit]
Within the Covenant, the Domotos-pattern fireblade is a weapon typically carried by high-ranking Sangheili, like Sangheili Zealots.[6] Following the Human-Covenant War and the dissolution of the Covenant, the Domotos-pattern energy sword was inherited by its splinter factions, including the Banished,[9] the Sword of Sanghelios,[11][12] and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.[7][8] Spartan-II Leon-011 carries a customized Domotos-pattern energy sword.[13][14]
