Plasma beam emitter

Plasma beam emitters are a a kind of plasma weapon used by the starships of Covenant and its remnants. They are in essence, scaled-down plasma lances serving as capital-grade, general-purpose, anti-starship weapons that can additionally be used in a role similar to that of excavation beams. In practice, they fire focused and continuous beams of controlled plasma at targets.

While similar conceptually, plasma beam emitters should not be mistaken for plasma beam lasers; the latter serve on a similar operational principle but on a much smaller scale, working instead as point-defence weapons for their charges.

For humanity, a broadly similar conceptual role is filled by larger naval autocannons such as the Breakwater and Spitfire.
