The '''bio-sword''' is a non-fatal weapon used for training and sporting purposes. 

The bio-sword is tied in with a chest harness, consisting of a heart target that the opponent is to strike (in very much the same fashion as [[w:fencing|fencing]]), except gladiatorial) in order to win the game. Once this target is struck, the bio-swords of both players are deactivated. 

The bio-sword is computer controlled, which ties in with the user's central nervous system in order to increase swiftness and agility. Users may double-wield bio-swords.

As cadets at the [[Colonial Fleet Academy]], [[Adama (alternate)|Adama]] and [[Baltar (alternate)|Baltar]] dueled with these swords in front of a public audience. Baltar attempts to cheat by modifying his own bio-swords to remain active even after his heart target is struck, although Adama still defeats him (''[[All Things Past and Present]]'').
