According to the game's lore, the company the player-character is from disallows the use of firearms but allows the use of nonlethal self defense weapons; stasis rifle, repulsor cannon etc. and allows the knife as it's key for survival.

The precursors from 1,000 years ago oddly enough don't follow that same rule.
