The weapon fired a thin (compared to the ship) beam of extremely energetic particles. It was possible to determine when it was about to fire because it typically generates a rather detectable radiation spike before firing. The beam has an effective range of over 500 | The weapon fired a thin (compared to the ship) beam of extremely energetic particles. It was possible to determine when it was about to fire because it typically generates a rather detectable radiation spike before firing. The beam has an effective range of over 500 kilometres, longer even than that of a [[UNSC]] Super Orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. The long range allowed a ship armed with this weapon to 'snipe' or 'glass' targets. | ||

According to [[Fred-104]], only the "big ships have them." Ships of the {{Class|Reverence|Cruiser|}}, the [[Covenant Supercruiser]], and the [[Assault Carrier]] were known to wield this weapon. Other large ship classes, such as the [[Covenant Supercarrier]], may have it as well. The CCS Class Cruiser has them too, albeit they have only 2 projectors, as shown in the above picture, located under the ships bow (The Head), and under its middle. [[Covenant Battleships]] boast 12 energy projectors, enough firepower to decimate any UNSC fleet.{{verify source}} | According to [[Fred-104]], only the "big ships have them."
