Plasma beam laser

Plasma beam lasers (alternatively simply referred to as plasma beams and beam lasers) are a a kind of point-defence weapon employed by the starships of the Covenant and its remnants. They are generally paired with dedicated augur arrays.

Although similarly-named, plasma beams should not be confused with pulse laser turrets; another kind of Covenant point-defence weapon used on their warships. The primary difference is their method of operation - pulse laser turrets have a fairly low rate-of-fire, whereas plasma beams are a plasma weapon emitted as a continuous beam. Similarly, Covenant plasma beam emitters are similarly-named, though are instead capital warship-grade weapons operating in a similar manner to plasma lances.
