A Holy Knight poleaxe with a containment field cut into the head. It is the second of the commanderies' three powered patterns, alongside the greatsword and the war-hammer. Commandery doctrine holds that modern work rests on ancestral work and should look like it, so the head has the shape of their pre-industrial poleaxes. Knight Brothers who fight in ship corridors prefer it to the greatsword. It has 10-foot reach. One power cell runs the edge for eight hours. Without a charged cell it is an ordinary poleaxe dealing 1d10 slashing damage.
