Monomolecular blade

The monomolecular blade is a prototype terran energy sword.

Overview[]

Monomolecular blades utilize the wielder's psionic energy to further hone an edge that has already been sharpened to a microscopic degree, allegedly only one molecule thick at the edge, allowing it to cut through both physical armor and energy shields.^[1] The blade's color shifts depends on its user—blue for ghosts, red for spectres.^[2]

A monomolecular blade was discovered in a Defenders of Man facility on Tarsonis by Agent Nova Terra. Nova then used the device to aid her in maneuvering through the facility undetected.^[1] Later, renegade spectres from the secret Tartarus lab also used monomolecular blades after stealing the Griffin, and utilized them in their battle against Nova and her dark templar allies.^[2]
