The Shortsword is a type of UNSC aircraft used in the first engagements with the Covenant.
It is a UNSC fighter that may have preceded the Longsword Fighter/Bomber. It was once thought to be the Skyhawk in the Halo Wars trailer but has since been named in a desktop picture from Halowars.com.[1]
UNSC "Shortsword" bomber - A ground based atmospheric bomber that is used primarily for short range, heavy payload runs against ground targets. Primarily developed as a low altitude bomber, the shortsword has proven to be very effective against Covenant installations.
The Shortsword can't use the Shaw-Fujikawa Slipspace Drive.
Trivia
