| The '''''Seraph''-Class Starfighter''' is assumed to be the [[Covenant]] main starfighter, and is hypothesized to be the Covenant's counterpart to the [[UNSC]] [[C709 Longsword starfighter|Longsword]]. Each Seraph has a teardrop and piscine like design possibly making it aerodynamically favourable in atmospheric conflicts. It may also be a pleasing asthetic design to Covenant eyes since such carapace-like curves are prevelant throughout Covenant design. They are stored in Covenant capital ships (both [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]s and [[Assault Carriers]]) when they are not in battle or escorting a ship.
| |
| | |
| Seraphs have exhibited a much greater maneuverability than similar [[human]] ships and have proved a troublesome foe for Longsword pilots. They usually attack in formations of ten. They sometimes harass enemy ships and perform hit-and-run strafing attacks on enemy ships. Unlike the Banshee, Seraphs are equipped with energy shields, but these are only a fraction of the strength of those on larger ships and are easily dispersed by concentrated point defense.

| Seraphs are a common adversary of UNSC starfighter pilots however prior to [[Halo 2]] they were only mentioned in the expanded universe and novels. The Seraph made it's first in game appearance dog-fighting with Longsword fighters outside of [[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]] during the [[First Battle of Earth]]<ref>[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]] viewed outside of the station</ref>.
| |
| | |
| only occasions in which a Seraph fighter is seen well in the games is in [[Halo 2]], on the levels [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] and [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]], where one is seen in a hangar in a [[Forerunner]] facility on the planet of [[Threshold]], which the Covenant storms in an attack on the [[Heretic]] forces. The [[Heretic Leader]] attempts to escape the storm on Threshold in the Seraph, but is successfully stopped by the [[Arbiter]], who slays him in combat.
| |
| | |
| Two Seraphs can also be seen at the end of [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]] in the cinematic scene where [[Master Chief]] is about to return the Covenant's [[Anti-Matter Bomb|bomb]], but they speed by fast, so you can't really get a good look at them then.
| |
| | |
| ==Armament==
| |
| The Seraph is the Covenant's main space attack fighter. It is somewhat tear-drop shaped, and is about 3 times the size and mass of the [[Banshee]] attack craft. It is armed with plasma cannons, and guided plasma torpedoes.
