Space fighter
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A starfighter is a small versatile, maneuverable ship, often used for bombing or "dog fighting" in space or in enclosed atmosphere. These ships are unable to enter Slipspace by themselves, and need to be launched from planetary bases, orbiting space stations or ships to conduct strikes against enemy warships, intercept fighters, and provide escort for warships and dropships.
