A Halcyion pattern greatsword with a containment field running the length of the edge, holding a plasma sheath a few millimeters off the steel. Holy Knight commanderies keep the silhouette of their pre-industrial greatswords on the doctrine that modern work rests on ancestral work and should look like it. Preceptors use versions forged around fragments of older blades. One power cell runs the edge for eight hours of continuous draw. Without a charged cell it is an ordinary greatsword dealing 2d6 slashing damage.
