'''Power weapons''' are a type of advanced hand-to-hand combat weapon taking several forms but utilising the same basic technological principles. When activated the blade of the weapon becomes sheathed in [[Power Field|in a field of energy]] which disrupts solid matter, allowing the weapon to easily tear through armour, including even [[Terminator Armour]].
The basic power weapon type (commonly taking the shape of swords and axes) is in use by several races including humans, while specialized types see more exclusive use.
