===Armament===
===Armament===
The C712 Longsword is a multirole space fighter, and its weapons loadout can be easily modified for different mission requirements. It has eight [[Machine-linked_autocannon#M9109_ASW.2FAC_50mm|M9109 coilguns]] that fire 50mm rounds at enemy fighters and ground forces during tactical strikes.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=112}} There are four [[ASGM-10 missile]]s, which are specialized for use against singleships such as the [[Covenant]] [[Seraph]], although they are powerful enough to deal significant damage to targets not protected by [[energy shield]]s.<ref name="CEALibrary">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''', [[Library (feature)|Library]]</ref> These are typically housed in a rotary launcher within the internal ordnance bay, to protect the missiles prior to launch. If needed, it can replace its anti-ship missiles with conventional smart bombs, satellites, or special mission payloads.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}

===Fall of Reach===
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/Level|Halo: Reach|[[ONI: Sword Base]]}} 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 [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarabs]], opening the path for the UNSC's ground assault force.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[Tip of the Spear]]}}
