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 Battle Cruisers]] 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.
