The bulk update request #7812 is pending approval.

create alias laser_sword (42) -> energy_sword (294)
create alias beam_sword (16) -> energy_sword (294)
create alias light_sword (14) -> energy_sword (294)
create alias plasma_sword (3) -> energy_sword (294)

Reason: these all seem to be synonymous, energy sword is the most populated and has existing -> sword implications.

considered including imply lightsaber -> energy_sword, but, despite the name, lightsabers come in a variety of form factors, many of which are not swords, let alone sabers.

we might also want to consider implying energy weapons to energy_weapon, but that should be a separate BUR.
