==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
Energy garrotes take the form of a small cylinder that splits apart down the middle into two pieces, with a bright-green [[plasma]] arc emitted to connect them. The energy beam is not powerful enough to cut through flesh, but does burn through the target's neck while it chokes them - allowing for silent kills in a matter of seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
==Operational history== | |||
An energy garrote was used during the opening stages of the [[Battle of Alpha Base]] by [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] to kill [[Rick Hale]], the pilot of a [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship. 'Zamamee took control of the craft and landed it and its complement of Special Operations Sangheili at the [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|the base]] on [[Installation 04]], kickstarting the Covenant attack.{{Ref/Novel|HTF|Chapter=8}} | |||
