| 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.
| |
| | |
| The Seraph has been known to be utilised as an air superiority fighter and has proved its effectiveness in this role time and time again.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]]</ref>.

| 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 [[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]] during the [[First Battle of Earth]]<ref>[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]] viewed outside of the station</ref>.
| |
| | |
| A Seraph can also be viewed in intricate detail on the levels: [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] and [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]]. One of these vessels is seen in a hangar within a Heretic occupied [[Forerunner]] [[Gas Mine|facility]] suspended within the atmosphere of the gas giant [[Threshold]]<ref>[[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]] and [[The Oracle (level)|The Oracle]]</ref>.[[Sesa 'Refumee]], the Heretic leader, attempts to escape the giant storms of Threshold in this Seraph, but is successfully stopped by the [[Arbiter]], who slays him in personal combat.
| |
| | |
| ==Armament==
| |
| | |
| As the Covenant's main space attack fighter the Seraph is armed with plasma cannons, and guided plasma torpedoes for extra atmospheric combat.
| |
| It is about 3 times the size and mass of the [[Banshee]] attack craft and represents a greater threat to UNSC ground and air forces.
