BaconShelf (talk | contribs) (most of the information on this page was a mix of citations referring to plasma lances, excavation beams, and plasma beams. This page has been rewritten to better describe energy projectors as a technology in broad concept - with each of the aforementioned systems now having a dedicated page for their own details. This is especially prudent now that the Covenant are established as having a wide array of projector models, meaning statements about one are not applicable to the others.) |

{{Main|Focus cannon}} | |||
Focus cannons are small-scale energy projectors used by the Covenant for [[Planetary warfare|ground warfare]] and excavation. Unlike their aforementioned counterparts, focus cannons are generally not mounted on starships, but instead on the ground vehicles of the Covenant. They are most prominently used on [[excavator]]s such as [[Locust]]s and [[Scarab]]s, though select heavy ground vehicles like the {{Pattern|Zashk|Draugr}} may also use them too.{{Ref/Site|Id=WPScarab|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/scarab|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Scarab|D=13|M=04|Y=2016}} | |||
