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 superluminal energy that spears through enemy warships at long range. | The '''Energy Projector''' is a [[Covenant]] starship-mounted weapon.

However, before it fires, it typically emits a spike of radiation, allowing informed enemies to know when the projector is firing. | ||
It can take down the shields of a [[Covenant frigate]] or a [[Covenant 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 destroyer]] with a single hit.
