Specifications
Design details
The Type-27 XMF is similar in appearance and design to the Type-26 "Banshee" GSA. It is equipped with two forward-swept wings, sporting two heavy plasma cannons, which are elongated in comparison to those of the normal model, and a fuel rod cannon.[3] The plasma cannons are also a lot stronger. Unlike the standard Banshee model, the Type-27 XMF sports an enclosed vacuum-sealed cockpit.
Operational history
The Type-27 XMF assisted the Covenant fleet in attacking the UNSC defense fleets and orbital stations over Reach during the Fall of Reach, particularly during Operation: UPPER CUT. There, they were used in conjunction with the Covenant's more powerful Type-31 Seraph-class XMFs.[2]
