Template:ShipUNSC The C709 Longsword-class Starfighter is the main UNSC fighter-bomber. It is capable of functioning in space and its engines are capable of reaching the Earth's and Installation 4's escape velocity. The Master Chief and Cortana use a Longsword to escape the destruction of Installation 04.
Its main weapons are 110mm rotary cannons for dogfighting in space. This versatile fighter can be armed with an assortment of secondary weapons including ASGM-10 Missiles, bombs, mines, and even a single Shiva nuclear Warhead. The Longsword is usually deployed against Seraph Fighters. It can also be used to escort Pelicans, as they head for the surface of a planet. Put simply, it is a very versatile aircraft.
Longswords are theorized to be Bungie's version of a Strike Bomber.
Behind the Scenes
The Longsword appears to be a part of a series of aircraft in a line. for example, the Shortsword Bomber (Introduced in Halo Wars), bears a slight similarity, and a related name. it also performs a function seem in a Halo 2 playable demo that was performed by Longswords, indicating that the builders have constructed various air/spacecraft with specific functions-in which case, it is logical to assume the next addition to the series may be titled the "Broadsword."
