The GA-TL1 Longsword is designed primarily as a fighter, though it can also be used for interception, suppression, bombing, or direct attack.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} There are a number of variants of the craft, with some variants measuring 64 meters (210 feet) long and 75 meters (246 feet) wide.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''' ''(2009)'', ''page 251''</ref><br> Their crew sizes can vary between two and four individuals; the crew may be assisted by an onboard [[artificial intelligence]].


While there are several noticeable external and presumably internal differences among variants, all Longswords share a common overall architecture. The craft features a wide, manta ray-like design with a rear-facing boom apparatus protruding from the center of the fuselage, similar to that of the [[B-65 Shortsword]] bomber. The exhaust ports for the Longsword's twin fusion engines<ref name="enc"/> are also visible at the rear of the fuselage. The C709 variant features a large, diamond-shaped air intake underneath each wing,<ref name="CE">'''Halo: Combat Evolved'''</ref><ref name="H2">'''Halo 2'''</ref> though these are much smaller on the C712, instead fitting flush with the fuselage.<ref name="H3">'''Halo 3'''</ref><ref name="Reach">'''Halo: Reach'''</ref><ref name="Origins"/> Furthermore, the C709 possesses a non-polarized canopy,<ref name="CE"/><ref name="H2"/> though other variants feature a much larger, black-polarized canopy.<ref name="H3"/><ref name="Reach"/>
While there are several noticeable external and presumably internal differences among variants, all Longswords share a common overall architecture. Most Longswords feature a wide, manta ray-like design with a rear-facing boom apparatus protruding from the center of the fuselage. The exhaust ports for the Longsword's twin fusion engines are also visible at the rear of the fuselage.{{Ref/Reuse|enc}} The newer [[C718 Longsword]] differs in a few key areas. It shares the same general arrow-shaped fuselage, but with more stubby wings. The C718 also does away with the tail-like boom and incorporates four more engines than the [[C709 Longsword|C709]] and [[C712 Longsword|C712]] variants.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P160}}


Inside the Longsword is a small corridor leading to the rear, along with stairs and a higher corridor that lead to the cockpit.<ref name="Maw">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Maw]]''</ref> Several equipment lockers are installed in the corridors, along with two secondary crew stations. The cockpit contains the pilot's and copilot's stations, which include control interfaces and information readouts, and may incorporate an AI [[holotank]].<ref name="FS37"/>
The Longsword can be remotely piloted, as was performed during the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] in [[2525]].{{Ref/Reuse|remote}} The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Aviator]] helmet is recommended for use by [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]] acting as Longsword crew members.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=147}}

During the [[Fall of Reach]], two Longswords were launched against a Covenant {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} to [[First Battle of Sword Base|protect]] [[Sword Base]]. The Longswords pushed the corvette away from the base far enough for a Super MAC round fired from orbit to take it out.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> Longswords also participated in the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]] after [[SPARTAN-B312]] took out two Covenant [[Type-38 Tyrant|anti-aircraft emplacements]], clearing the way for air support. The Longswords were able to destroy three [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarabs]], opening the path for the UNSC's ground assault force.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> Later, the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} launched a remotely piloted Longsword equipped with a ''Shiva''-class nuclear missile during a battle with an [[unidentified Covenant warship]].

==Service history==
===Origin and early service===
[[File:H3 E3 Longsword 3.jpg|thumb|250px|Three Longswords assaulting the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] in the [[Battle of Voi]].{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}]]
The Longsword, manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]], was designed during the 25th century by [[Gov Aukland]] and [[Thomas Levesque]], whose names inspired the GA-TL1 designation.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Longswords saw service during the [[Insurrection]].<ref name="Origins">'''Halo Legends''', ''Origins''</ref>  


During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], a number of Longswords escorted the ''Pillar of Autumn''. They destroyed the Covenant's initial recon picket which Cortana described as being "nothing serious," however Cortana detected multiple ''CCS''-class battlegroups approaching.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> Later, [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and Cortana used a Longsword to escape from [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]] before it was destroyed.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Maw]]''</ref> They later linked up with a Pelican dropship and [[Skirmish over Threshold|launched an attack]] on a nearby Covenant [[flagship]], ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', using the Longsword to board it and destroying its [[Type-31 Seraph]] fighters with the Longsword's [[Moray space mine]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>
===Human-Covenant War===
Later, Longswords were deployed on the front lines of nearly every major engagement of the [[Human-Covenant War]] under the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} [[Longsword Squadron Delta]], assigned to the frigate {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}, engaged [[Covenant]] forces during the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]]. The Longswords were destroyed when the ''Commonwealth'' was forced to sacrifice them to get a shot on the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' with a ''Shiva''-class nuclear missile. The Longswords that survived the firefight were destroyed when the nuclear weapon detonated.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''' ''(2001)'', ''pages 112-113''</ref>


During the [[Battle of Voi]], several Longswords aided a trio of frigates in attacking the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Anodyne Spirit|ship]], once John-117 cleared the way by destroying an [[Type-27 Mantis|anti-aircraft battery]]. However, the attack proved unsuccessful and [[Truth's fleet]] was able to evacuate through the [[Portal at Voi]] which they opened moments after the failed attack.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref>
The C712 Longsword variant saw heavy use during the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Game|HR|[[campaign]]}} Later in the battle, the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} launched a remotely piloted Longsword equipped with a ''Shiva''-class nuclear missile during a battle with an {{Pattern|Kewu|battleship}}. After the ship's shields were taken down, the "smart" AI [[Cortana]] crash-landed the Longsword on the ship. The nuke's detonation destroyed the Covenant vessel.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Fall of Reach}}


On [[2557#July|July 26, 2557]], Spartan [[Blue Team]] used a Longsword to reach Halo [[Installation 03]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue 8''</ref> On [[2558#March|March 11, 2558]], several Longswords defended {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when she was attacked by [[New Colonial Alliance|insurgent]] aerospace craft after the freighter ''[[Pilgrims' Pride]]'' was pulled into ''Infinity's'' primary docking bay.<ref name="HE4">'''Halo: Escalation''' - ''Issue #4''</ref>
Famously, the C709 Longsword was used by [[John-117]] to escape the destruction of the UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' and [[Installation 04]] during the [[Battle of Installation 04]].{{Ref/Game|HCE|campaign}}


During [[Operation: WHISTLE STOP]] on May 8, 2558, ''Infinity'' deployed three Longswords to escort two [[D77H-TCI Pelican]]s to rescue Spartans [[Naiya Ray]] and [[Gabriel Thorne]] from the [[pirate]]s inhabiting the [[Ven III|planet]]. One of the fighters deployed [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s, destroying the pirate base.<ref name=Escalation12">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 12|Issue #12]]''</ref> At least one Longsword was deployed during the [[Battle of Oban]] on July 16, where it destroyed two Covenant [[Phantom]] dropships.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> A few days later, three Longswords from ''Infinity'' escorted two [[D79-TC Pelican]]s to the surface of [[Aktis IV]] during a [[Battle of Aktis IV|battle on the planet]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref>
During the [[Battle of Voi]], numerous C712 Longswords aided a number of frigates in attacking the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Anodyne Spirit|ship]], once John-117 cleared the way by destroying an [[Skar'wa-pattern Mantis|anti-aircraft battery]]. However, the attack proved unsuccessful and [[Truth's fleet]] was able to evacuate through the [[Portal at Voi]] which they opened moments after the failed attack.{{Ref/Level|Id=storm|Halo 3|[[The Storm]]}} Longswords subsequently took part in the [[Battle of Installation 00]] after the [[Fleet of Retribution]] and the [[Seventh Fleet]] followed Truth through the portal to prevent the firing of the [[Halo Array]]. At least one was shot down during the battle and crashed on the Ark which was witnessed by the ground team led by John-117.{{Ref/Level|[[Halo 3]]|[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]}}

Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series screenshot
A squadron of Longswords during space warfare.

The GA-TL1 Interceptor/Strike Fighter, or Longsword, is the mainstay multi-mission platform in service with the UNSC Air Force and UNSC Navy.[1][2] Longswords are capable of atmospheric and exoatmospheric (A/X) operation and can be fitted for myriad roles simultaneously. Among those roles, Longswords most often operate as fleet defense fighters, orbital defense and deep space interceptors, or as strike fighters, among other, more specialized tasks.[1]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The various ordnance carried by a C712 Longsword.[3]

The GA-TL1 Longsword is designed primarily as a fighter, though it can also be used for interception, suppression, bombing, or direct attack.[1] There are a number of variants of the craft, with some variants measuring 64 meters (210 feet) long and 75 meters (246 feet) wide.[1][4]
Their crew sizes can vary between two and four individuals; the crew may be assisted by an onboard artificial intelligence.

While there are several noticeable external and presumably internal differences among variants, all Longswords share a common overall architecture. Most Longswords feature a wide, manta ray-like design with a rear-facing boom apparatus protruding from the center of the fuselage. The exhaust ports for the Longsword's twin fusion engines are also visible at the rear of the fuselage.[4] The newer C718 Longsword differs in a few key areas. It shares the same general arrow-shaped fuselage, but with more stubby wings. The C718 also does away with the tail-like boom and incorporates four more engines than the C709 and C712 variants.[5]

The Longsword can be remotely piloted, as was performed during the Battle of Chi Ceti in 2525.[6] The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Aviator helmet is recommended for use by Spartans acting as Longsword crew members.[7]

Armament[edit]

The standard armament of the GA-TL1 Longsword is the M9109 50mm cannon.[1][8] Some variants are armed with 110mm rotary cannons[9] or a turreted 120mm ventral gun that can be retracted into the hull,[10] though the latter is likely a secondary weapon. The Longsword can also accommodate any of several supplementary weapon systems, including four ASGM-10 missiles[11] or ASGM-15 missiles,[12][5] a variety of bombs including laser-guided M888 Octadart bombs,[12][5] M1011 Moray space mines, or even a single Shiva-class nuclear missile;[5] when remotely piloted, the Longsword itself can be used as a delivery system for the Shiva warhead.[6] As well as Shiva nuclear missiles, Longswords are capable of deploying HAVOK tactical nuclear weapons.[13][5] Longswords are also capable of dropping and deploying certain variants of ordnance pods to resupply troops on the ground.[14][5]

Variants[edit]

There are multiple variants of the GA-TL1 Longsword that are designed to perform specific functions, such as the C708, the C709, and the C712.[15] However, these variations are not static; Longswords can be modified on a craft-by-craft basis to fit the needs of a given mission.[1]

  • C708 Longsword - A variant of the Longsword.[15]
  • C709 Longsword - Designed to apply force in exoatmospheric engagements. It is armed with a 110mm rotary cannon.[1] Despite its focus on exoatmospheric combat, the C709 features large air intakes and a non-polarized canopy.[16][17]
  • C712 Longsword - Designated SS-110 by the UNSC Air Force,[18] specialized in short-range atmospheric/exoatmospheric (A/X) strike runs. It can carry an assortment of missile and mine delivery systems. The C712 features a large, polarized canopy and integrated air intakes.[19][20][21]
  • C718 Longsword - Introduced following the rise of the Created in late 2558. It carries a particularly lethal arsenal and also incorporates advanced stealth technologies.[5][22]

Ships of the line[edit]

C712 Longswords

Service history[edit]

Origin and early service[edit]

Three Longswords assaulting the Forerunner Dreadnought in the Battle of Voi.[23]

The Longsword, manufactured by Misriah Armory, was designed during the 25th century by Gov Aukland and Thomas Levesque, whose names inspired the GA-TL1 designation.[1] Longswords saw service during the Insurrection.[19]

Human-Covenant War[edit]

Later, Longswords were deployed on the front lines of nearly every major engagement of the Human-Covenant War under the UNSC Navy.[1] Longsword Squadron Delta, assigned to the frigate UNSC Commonwealth, engaged Covenant forces during the Battle of Chi Ceti. The Longswords were destroyed when the Commonwealth was forced to sacrifice them to get a shot on the Unrelenting with a Shiva-class nuclear missile. The Longswords that survived the firefight were destroyed when the nuclear weapon detonated.[24]

The C712 Longsword variant saw heavy use during the Fall of Reach.[25] Later in the battle, the Halcyon-class light cruiser UNSC Pillar of Autumn launched a remotely piloted Longsword equipped with a Shiva-class nuclear missile during a battle with an Kewu-pattern battleship. After the ship's shields were taken down, the "smart" AI Cortana crash-landed the Longsword on the ship. The nuke's detonation destroyed the Covenant vessel.[26]

Famously, the C709 Longsword was used by John-117 to escape the destruction of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and Installation 04 during the Battle of Installation 04.[27]

During the Battle of Voi, numerous C712 Longswords aided a number of frigates in attacking the Prophet of Truth's ship, once John-117 cleared the way by destroying an anti-aircraft battery. However, the attack proved unsuccessful and Truth's fleet was able to evacuate through the Portal at Voi which they opened moments after the failed attack.[23] Longswords subsequently took part in the Battle of Installation 00 after the Fleet of Retribution and the Seventh Fleet followed Truth through the portal to prevent the firing of the Halo Array. At least one was shot down during the battle and crashed on the Ark which was witnessed by the ground team led by John-117.[28]

Post-war[edit]

On July 26, 2557, Spartan Blue Team used a Longsword to reach Halo Installation 03.[29] On March 11, 2558, several Longswords defended UNSC Infinity when she was attacked by insurgent aerospace craft after the freighter Pilgrims' Pride was pulled into Infinity's primary docking bay.[30]

During Operation: WHISTLE STOP on May 8, 2558, Infinity deployed three Longswords to escort two D77H-TCI Pelicans to rescue Spartans Naiya Ray and Gabriel Thorne from the pirates inhabiting the planet. One of the fighters deployed HAVOK tactical nuclear weapons, destroying the pirate base.[13] At least one Longsword was deployed during the Battle of Oban on July 16, where it destroyed two Covenant Phantom dropships.[31] A few days later, three Longswords from Infinity escorted two D79-TC Pelicans to the surface of Aktis IV during a battle on the planet.[32]

The C718 Longsword entered service within the UNSC in response to the events of late 2558, incorporating decades of research and captured alien technology. A first within the GA-TL1 Longsword family, the C718 also includes cutting-edge stealth technology.[5]

In October 2559, several of the Infinity's Longswords took part in Operation: WOLFE, fighting against Escharum's intrusion corvette and the forces that it unleashed.[33]

In 2530, Soren-066 would steal a Longsword in an effort to flee the SPARTAN-II program.[34]

Trivia[edit]

  • Like the FSS-1000 Sabre, the S-14 Baselard, the F-41 Broadsword, and the B-65 Shortsword, the Longsword is named after a bladed weapon.
  • The C709's cabin is nearly as long as that of an Airbus A320, a commercial airliner.[35]
  • The SS-110's featured in Halo: Reach are only half as large as their original Halo: Combat Evolved appearance, likely because they are meant to be seen only from a great distance and for a short period of time. The craft seen on the multiplayer map "Tempest" is, like the crashed Pelican on the map "Highlands", too small to accommodate a single Spartan.[36]
