DESCRIPTION
Energy lances are a weapon commonly used by beings riding cavalry beasts or open vehicles such as swoop bikes. Extremely powerful, energy lances are essentially force pikes tipped with a weaponized plasma cutter. When used as melee weapons, they are able to pierce heavy armor, including that of vehicles such as tanks and walkers. They are also capable of firing plasma bolts of medium power, giving them some utility in ranged combat.

In general, energy lances are only used by specialized cavalry units and swoopers. Though technically classified as melee weapons, they are generally too long and unwieldy to be used on foot. Tactics for wielding an energy lance mainly involve the wielder charging at great speed, using their weapon to knock down or impale enemy troops or equipment. The blaster functionality of the weapon does give it some standoff capability, of course.

Energy lances can notably be used underwater. Most energy lances can sustain about 50 shots off a standard power pack.

LEGALITY
Legal. Ownership of energy lances is not restricted in most of the Galaxy, however openly carrying such a weapon in public might be on more "civilized" worlds. On less civilized worlds, it still might draw unwanted scrutiny.

INTENT
To create a standardize energy lance technology.
