==Operational history== | |||
===Fall of Reach=== | |||
During the [[Fall of Reach]], two Longswords were launched against a Covenant {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} to [[First Battle of Sword Base|protect]] [[SWORD Base]]. The Longswords pushed the corvette away from the base far enough for a Super MAC round fired from orbit to take it out.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[ONI: Sword Base]]}} Longswords also participated in the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]] after [[SPARTAN-B312]] took out two Covenant [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|anti-aircraft emplacements]], clearing the way for air support. The Longswords were able to destroy three [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarabs]], opening the path for the UNSC's ground assault force.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[Tip of the Spear]]}} | |||
===Battle for Earth=== | |||
During the opening stages of the [[Battle for Earth]], a pair of longswords bombed the unshielded {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}}, [[Day of Jubilation]]'s core, allowing [[John-117]] to fly in and detonate a recently acquired [[Chershi-pattern void maker|Chershi-pattern]] [[antimatter charge]] inside the carrier's [[Pinch fusion reactor]].{{Ref/Level|Halo 2|[[Cairo Station]]}}{{Ref/Note|In the original [[Halo 2]] cutscene, the pair of longswords are instead models of the [[C709 Longsword]], it is unknown which version is canon.}} Atleast one longsword participated in the [[Battle of Voi]], however it was shot down by a [[Skar'wa-pattern Mantis|Type-27 Mantis]].{{Ref/Level|Halo 3|[[The Storm]]}} | |||
===Battle of Installation 00=== | |||
