The '''Morsam-pattern Seraph''', classified by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] as the '''Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter''',<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/tech/ '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Universe - Tech'']</ref> was one of the main [[Design pattern|production models]] of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Seraph]] [[space fighter]]s, alongside the [[Kai-pattern Seraph]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''': ''Game Stats''</ref> Formerly manufactured and produced by [[Assembly Forges]], the Seraph is the successor to the older [[Tarasque heavy fighter|''Tarasque''-class heavy fighter]]. It is a more powerful, though less common counterpart to the unshielded and expendable [[Type-27 Banshee]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''game manual''</ref>

During the [[Fall of Reach]], the Seraphs attempted to disable the UNSC ships and orbital stations over the planet [[Reach]], while providing some cover for the Covenant boarding crews. These attempts were subsequently prevented by UNSC [[YSS-1000 Sabre|''Sabre''-class interceptors]], [[UNSC frigate|frigates]], and Longsword interceptors.<ref name="lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>  

During the [[Skirmish over Threshold]], the [[Covenant]] {{Class|DDS|carrier}} ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' deployed Seraphs to stop the approach of the [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]] fighter commanded by [[John-117]]. However, John and his makeshift crew sent a remote-piloted [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]] with [[Moray space mine]]s attached ahead of them. Though the dropship was destroyed, the mines detached and destroyed the Seraph squadron, allowing the Longsword to land safely in ''Ascendant Justice's'' hanger bay.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>

On [[2558|February 7, 2558]], when the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} returned to the shield world [[Requiem]] to [[Requiem Campaign|engage]] the local [[Promethean]] forces, numerous Seraphs belonging to [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] were deployed around Requiem to prevent the humans from gaining entrance. These Seraphs attacked ''Infinity'' and the Pelicans it deployed to the surface, but were repelled by a squadron of [[F-41 Broadsword]] strike fighters.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''[[Departure]]''</ref>

Several Seraphs from [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s Covenant attacked ''Infinity'' during the [[Battle of Aktis IV]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> Several wings saw action on both sides during the [[Battle of Sunaion]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]''</ref>

*In the ''Halo: Reach'' post-game stats, the Seraph icon is erroneously represented by the image of a Sabre. On [[Halo Waypoint]], the image is that of a regular [[Type-26 Banshee]]. On [[Bungie.net]], the correct image of a Seraph is shown.

*In the same level, there is a [[Pilotable Seraph|glitch]] that makes it possible to hit a Seraph with an EMP shot from a [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]] and hijack it.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=29802 '''Bungie.net''': ''How To Fly the Seraph - Tutorial'']</ref>
