The Jade Light was used by the Orokin as a means of executing defectors and those who opposed the law. Although we do not know the specifics of the Jade Light, we can safely assume that it was some sort of disintegration ray that turned the accused into nothing but "mist and gore". The Orokin were known for their cruel, unjust, and ruthless punishments. It is also implied the Orokin could wield the Jade Light in man-portable weapons, as seen with the Myrmidon.
