The '''''Seraph''-class Starfighter''' is a widely used [[Covenant]] starfighter, essentially the Covenant's counterpart to the [[UNSC]] [[C709 Longsword starfighter|Longsword]]. Each Seraph has a teardrop and piscine like design, likely aesthetically pleasing to Covenant eyes since such carapace-like curves are prevalent 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.  
The '''''Morsam''-pattern Heavy Strike Fighter''' {{Type|31|Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter}},{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} was one of the main [[Design pattern|production models]] of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Seraph]] [[space fighter]]s, alongside the older [[Kai-pattern Seraph]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Formerly manufactured and produced by [[Assembly Forges]], the Seraph is the successor to the older [[Keljiric-pattern Tarasque|''Tarasque''-class heavy fighter]]. It is a more powerful, though less common counterpart to the unshielded and expendable {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee}}.{{Ref/Game|HR|Halo: Reach manua|game manual}}


Seraphs have demonstrated that they are every bit the equal, if not more so, for [[human]] Longsword pilots. They usually attack in formations of ten, with their assaults on enemy ships ranging from simple harassment, to full out strafing attacks. 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.
==Overview==
===Design details===
The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like shape, fitting with the overall design elegance the [[Covenant]] is known for. Seraph fighters are mostly stored in the [[hangar bay]]s of Covenant ships or stations when they are not in battle or escorting a ship. ''Morsam''-pattern Seraphs have two movable flaps on either side of their hull, and their twin "tails" are articulated to aid with directing exhaust. These features give the Seraph superior turning capabilities in zero-gravity environments. Despite their efficiency and speed in space, Seraph fighters are graceless and sluggish in atmospheric conditions due to their odd teardrop-like shape. Seraphs fill a variety of roles in a [[Covenant fleet]], such as a strike fighter or for ship-to-ship combat in dogfights.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/82613d70-17cc-4652-8ab1-a1f16e29c516/banshee-fighter|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Banshee Fighter|D=30|M=01|Y=2013}} Seraphs can also be used for the occasional bombing run.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}


The Seraph has been known to be utilized as an air superiority fighter, but are clumsy and sluggish within an atmosphere, indicating that such a capability is only a secondary role<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]]</ref>. Faster and harder hitting than the Banshee, the Seraph poses a significant aerial threat.
As the Covenant's main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in space, and can easily keep pace with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s [[GA-TL1 Longsword]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}


It is assumed that the Seraph fighter is crewed by [[Elite]] pilots, succeeded by the [[Brutes]] after the [[Great Schism]].
===Armaments===
Seraphs have demonstrated that they are a very effective counter-weapon against Longsword interceptors unless the latter attacks from the side or behind. Seraphs usually attack in formations of ten, their assaults on enemy ships range from simple harassment to full-out strafing attacks. They have also been seen patrolling in pairs. It is assumed that Seraph fighters can be piloted by a single [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}


== Armament ==
The Seraph is armed with a variety of weapons. Seraphs are seen firing multiple heavy plasma cannons and are also armed with fuel rod cannons and plasma charges for strafing and bombing runs.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} The Seraph's four fuel rod cannons are also capable of locking onto air targets.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} The plasma charge's flames are 3,000 degrees.{{Ref/Reuse|HGoO}}


As the Covenant's main space attack fighter the Seraph is armed with a pulse laser and plasma charges for bombing runs<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] Pg. 17-18</ref>.
==Operational history==
During the [[Fall of Reach]], the Seraphs attempted to disable the UNSC ships and orbital stations over the planet [[Reach]], while providing some cover for the Covenant boarding crews. These attempts were subsequently prevented by UNSC [[FSS-1000 Sabre|''Sabre''-class interceptors]], [[UNSC frigate|frigates]], and Longsword interceptors.{{Ref/Level|Id=lnos|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}}


The Seraph fighter is both powerful and fast even able to fly in the hurricane force winds of the gas giant [[Threshold]]<ref>[[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]] and [[The Oracle (level)|The Oracle]]</ref>, although it is not as maneuverable in an atmosphere as dedicated atmospheric fighters<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]</ref>
During the [[Battle over Installation 04|opening stages]] of the [[Battle of Installation 04|Battle of]] [[Installation 04]], as the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} was boarded by [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|forces]] of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], Seraph fighters, as well as {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee}} were deployed to attack the UNSC cruiser. The [[ODSTs]] of [[Fireteam Raven]] managed to activate the vessel's [[M910 Rampart point defense network]], inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking Seraphs and Banshees.{{Ref/Level|HFR|Escape (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Escape}}


== Appearances ==
During the [[Skirmish over Threshold]], the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ruma|light carrier}} ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' deployed Seraphs to stop the approach of the [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]] fighter commanded by [[John-117]]. However, John and his makeshift crew sent a remote-piloted [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]] with [[M1011 Moray space mine]]s attached ahead of them. Though the dropship was destroyed, the mines detached and destroyed the Seraph squadron, allowing the Longsword to land safely in ''Ascendant Justice's'' hanger bay.{{Ref/Novel|FS|6}}
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 its 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>. 
[[Image:Seraph.jpg|thumb|A Seraph seen outside [[Cairo Station]].]]
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.


The Seraph Starfighters are also seen in [[Halo 3]] during the cutscene of ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' where they are escorting the [[Brute]] capital ships as they engage the [[Sangheili]] battle group. They are seen also during that cutscene attacking the [[Pelicans]] that [[SPARTAN-117]] was in.  
Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, ''Mosam''-pattern Seraphs were adopted by numerous Covenant remnant factions. On [[2558|February 7, 2558]], when the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} returned to the shield world [[Requiem]] to [[Requiem Campaign|engage]] the local [[Promethean]] forces, numerous Seraphs belonging to [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] were deployed around Requiem to prevent the humans from gaining entrance. These Seraphs attacked ''Infinity'' and the Pelicans it deployed to the surface, but were repelled by a squadron of [[F-41 Broadsword]] strike fighters.{{Ref/SpOps|Departure}} Several Seraphs from [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s Covenant attacked ''Infinity'' during the [[Battle of Aktis IV]].{{Ref/Comic|HEsc|Issue=15}} Several wings saw action on both sides during the [[Battle of Sunaion]].{{Ref/Level|H5|Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion}} In October [[2559]], the [[Banished]] and [[Castor]]'s [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] forces employed ''Morsam''-pattern Seraphs on [[Reach]].{{Ref/Novel|SOR|7}}{{Ref/Novel|SOR|cover art}} Banished Seraphs were present during [[Battle over Installation 07|the opening space battle]] of the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Novel|TRP|1}}

The Morsam-pattern Heavy Strike Fighter (UNSC Type classification: Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter),[1] was one of the main production models of the Covenant's Seraph space fighters, alongside the older Kai-pattern Seraph.[2] Formerly manufactured and produced by Assembly Forges, the Seraph is the successor to the older Tarasque-class heavy fighter. It is a more powerful, though less common counterpart to the unshielded and expendable Elsedda-pattern Banshee.[7]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like shape, fitting with the overall design elegance the Covenant is known for. Seraph fighters are mostly stored in the hangar bays of Covenant ships or stations when they are not in battle or escorting a ship. Morsam-pattern Seraphs have two movable flaps on either side of their hull, and their twin "tails" are articulated to aid with directing exhaust. These features give the Seraph superior turning capabilities in zero-gravity environments. Despite their efficiency and speed in space, Seraph fighters are graceless and sluggish in atmospheric conditions due to their odd teardrop-like shape. Seraphs fill a variety of roles in a Covenant fleet, such as a strike fighter or for ship-to-ship combat in dogfights.[8] Seraphs can also be used for the occasional bombing run.[5]

As the Covenant's main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in space, and can easily keep pace with the UNSC's GA-TL1 Longsword.[5]

Armaments[edit]

Seraphs have demonstrated that they are a very effective counter-weapon against Longsword interceptors unless the latter attacks from the side or behind. Seraphs usually attack in formations of ten, their assaults on enemy ships range from simple harassment to full-out strafing attacks. They have also been seen patrolling in pairs. It is assumed that Seraph fighters can be piloted by a single Sangheili or Jiralhanae.[5]

The Seraph is armed with a variety of weapons. Seraphs are seen firing multiple heavy plasma cannons and are also armed with fuel rod cannons and plasma charges for strafing and bombing runs.[5] The Seraph's four fuel rod cannons are also capable of locking onto air targets.[4] The plasma charge's flames are 3,000 degrees.[6]

Operational history[edit]

During the Fall of Reach, the Seraphs attempted to disable the UNSC ships and orbital stations over the planet Reach, while providing some cover for the Covenant boarding crews. These attempts were subsequently prevented by UNSC Sabre-class interceptors, frigates, and Longsword interceptors.[9]

During the opening stages of the Battle of Installation 04, as the UNSC Pillar of Autumn was boarded by Covenant forces of the Fleet of Particular Justice, Seraph fighters, as well as Elsedda-pattern Banshee were deployed to attack the UNSC cruiser. The ODSTs of Fireteam Raven managed to activate the vessel's M910 Rampart point defense network, inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking Seraphs and Banshees.[10]

During the Skirmish over Threshold, the Covenant Ruma-pattern light carrier Ascendant Justice deployed Seraphs to stop the approach of the Longsword fighter commanded by John-117. However, John and his makeshift crew sent a remote-piloted Pelican dropship with M1011 Moray space mines attached ahead of them. Though the dropship was destroyed, the mines detached and destroyed the Seraph squadron, allowing the Longsword to land safely in Ascendant Justice's hanger bay.[11]

Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, Mosam-pattern Seraphs were adopted by numerous Covenant remnant factions. On February 7, 2558, when the UNSC Infinity returned to the shield world Requiem to engage the local Promethean forces, numerous Seraphs belonging to Jul 'Mdama's Covenant were deployed around Requiem to prevent the humans from gaining entrance. These Seraphs attacked Infinity and the Pelicans it deployed to the surface, but were repelled by a squadron of F-41 Broadsword strike fighters.[12] Several Seraphs from Jul 'Mdama's Covenant attacked Infinity during the Battle of Aktis IV.[13] Several wings saw action on both sides during the Battle of Sunaion.[14] In October 2559, the Banished and Castor's Keepers of the One Freedom forces employed Morsam-pattern Seraphs on Reach.[15][16] Banished Seraphs were present during the opening space battle of the Battle for Zeta Halo.[17]

Gameplay[edit]

Halo: Reach[edit]

Main article: Halo: Reach

In Long Night of Solace, there is a glitch that makes it possible to hit a Seraph with an EMP shot from a plasma pistol and hijack it.[18] With the Forge update given to Halo: Reach as part of its inclusion in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the Seraph was added to the Forge inventories of Forge World and Tempest.
