The ''' | The '''energy stave''' is a [[Covenant]] ceremonial [[melee]] [[weapon]]. It is used exclusively by the [[Honor Guard]] [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae]] and [[Light of Sanghelios]]. It is a long metal staff, and has a forked tip with a series of glowing panels.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref><ref name="grave">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]''</ref> While regular Honor Guardsmen use more elaborate staves featuring ornate panels similar in color to the glowing armor panels of their wielders, [[Sangheili Minor]]s assigned to guard duties have been known to wield more ascetic versions of these weapons with more simplistic, blue-glowing panels.<ref name="wars">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Escape]]''</ref> | ||
The energy stave mostly serves a ceremonial purpose as opposed to a combat one; the stave has been used as an actual offensive weapon in rare cases only. The Honor Guard Sangheili mostly use [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifles]], [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Swords]], and [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbines]] in real combat. However, they were used by [[Jiralhanae]] to subdue any [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-yar]] that came too close to the [[Council Chamber]] during one of the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s sermons regarding the discovery of the [[Activation Index|"Sacred Icon"]].<ref name="grave"/> | |||
