The '''Energy Projector''' is a [[Covenant]] starship-mounted weapon. It is believed to be the most devastating weapon in the Covenant arsenal, with an effective range of 100,000 kilometers - beyond the range of any [[UNSC]] weapon, including the Super Orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. It fires a lance-thin, fluctuating beam of energy that spears through enemy warships at long range. However, before it fires, it typically emits a spike of radiation, allowing informed enemies to know when the projector is firing. | The '''Energy Projector''' is a [[Covenant]] starship-mounted weapon. The Covenant may have repurposed [[Forerunner]] technology, as normal, as smaller-sized Energy Projectors are also found on [[Onyx Sentinel]]s. | ||

It can take down the shields of a [[Covenant frigate]] or a [[Covenant Heavy Destroyer]] with a single hit. However, it can effectively neutralize a [[UNSC frigate]] or [[UNSC destroyer]]'s threat to friendly forces by surgically impacting critical systems like their [[MAC]] system, destroying them and making them effectively useless in combat. | It can take down the shields of a [[Covenant frigate]] or a [[Covenant Heavy Destroyer]] with a single hit.

*As aforementioned, [[Onyx Sentinel]]s are armed with cut-down Energy Projectors that fire golden light, instead of blue-phased energy. However, they are also destructive, able to destroy rock plateaus and destroy any infantry or ground vehicle in a single hit. | |||
