Template:Ship Class Infobox The Type-27 XMF, informally known as the Space Banshee, Banshee Interceptor, and Banshee Fighter, is the Covenant's standard space interceptor support craft.[1] It is a vacuum-sealed variant of the Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft that is designed for exoatmospheric combat.[2]
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, each of which sports two heavy plasma cannons; these cannons are elongated in comparison to those of the normal model and are also more powerful. A fuel rod cannon is mounted at the front of the fuselage.[3] Unlike the standard Banshee model, the Type-27 XMF sports an enclosed vacuum-sealed cockpit. These craft can be mounted on the hangar bay walls of Covenant ships, as well and on the undersides of vessels' hulls.[2]
Operational history
Numerous Type-27 XMFs assisted the Covenant in attacking the UNSC defense fleet and orbital stations over Reach during the Fall of Reach, particularly during Operation: UPPER CUT. During this operation, several Type-27 XMFs were used in conjunction with many of the Covenant's more powerful Type-31 Seraph XMFs to attack the UNSC refit station Anchor 9 and later to defend the corvette Ardent Prayer from UNSC boarders.[2]
