:Does it get into detail as to the specifics on the variations? Perhaps it is a canon explanation as to why some Longswords are bigger than others (rather than simply for data-storage or lag reasons). I'm sure tons of aircraft have such designations that lack their given-names - Cortana refers to the C709 in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' as a "Longsword-class inteceptor", though they only appear to be used in a technical sense and are likely to be largely unused. While it's technical name is what you stated, it is identified more simply as the "GA-TL1 Longsword".-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 16:45, 6 July 2011 (EDT) | :Does it get into detail as to the specifics on the variations?

::It says the C709 specializes in exostmospheric combat and is fitted with a rotary cannon, while the C712 specializes in short range A/X strike runs and is fitted with missile and mine delivery systems. That's basically it though. No indication of which ones in the games are C712s if any of them are. It does also indicate that there are other variants as well.--[[User talk:Darth Oblivion|Darth Oblivion]] 16:58, 6 July 2011 (EDT) | ::It says the C709 specializes in exostmospheric combat and is fitted with a rotary cannon, while the C712 specializes in short range A/X strike runs and is fitted with missile and mine delivery systems.
