A plasma sword of the Ascendancy's own pattern, built in the Phoenix yards alongside the lance and issued to the sun-cavalry. The containment field runs the full length of the blade and the sheath burns gold instead of blue, a heraldic choice that costs the Ascendancy power to maintain. One power cell runs the edge for six hours of continuous draw. Without a charged cell it is a well-balanced longsword dealing 1d8 slashing damage.
