Seraphs have seen operational use as early as the [[Harvest campaign]], and would later become a common adversary of Longsword fighters. These starfighters provided excellent fire support to all Covenant forces in space and on the groundside. Elite pilots considered piloting a Seraph merely a means to attain enough glory to be reassigned to a ground combat position, valuing their fighters only as tools to accomplish this. Despite their extensive training, their honor code gave them a tendency to peel off from their squadrons to engage in one-on-one dogfights, making them vulnerable in combat. Brute pilots were excluded from such training, but their pack mentality and rigid social hierarchy made them far more effective teams. Human pilots soon learned to fear Brute-piloted Seraphs, identified by clan markings and Forerunner symbols carved on their hulls, more than Elite-piloted Seraphs.<ref name="warfleet">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 58-59</ref> | Seraphs have seen operational use as early as the [[Harvest campaign]], and would later become a common adversary of Longsword fighters.

In [[Operation: TORPEDO]], the Seraphs harassed the incoming [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]]s by bombarding them during the UNSC surprise assault of the Covenant refinery facilities. Several fighters were shot down by missiles fired from the [[M19-B surface-to-air missile launcher]]s used by the SPARTAN-IIIs.<ref name="ghosts" | In [[Operation: TORPEDO]], the Seraphs harassed the incoming [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]]s by bombarding them during the UNSC surprise assault of the Covenant refinery facilities.
