Knife 26

Knife 26 was a UNSC Longsword fighter.

In 2552, Knife 26 was embarked aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. It was commanded by a female pilot.

It saw action at the Battle of Reach where it led a flight of four Longswords escorting SPARTAN-II Red Team aboard Pelican Bravo 001. En route Knife 26's flight was engaged by a dozen Seraph fighters, and Knife 26 drew back and engaged the Seraphs to give Red Team enough time to get to the planet's surface and was presumably destroyed, as it was up against insurmountable odds, and it lost radio contact with Bravo-001 seconds after it engaged the Seraphs.
