A Pirate Hussar holding his Phazon Energy Lance.
A Phazon Energy Lance is the weapon used by Pirate Hussars, which are "deadly at any range." They appear to be actual lances, that fire yellow-colored lasers. Lances, like the Korakk Beast being used as a mount, are a first for the Metroid series, as usually beam weapons were used by Space Pirates in previous games. However, this lance seems to have been upgraded from a traditional lance as it fires laser beams, as stated before.
