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.

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.
