Knife 07
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Knife 07 (K-07) was the callsign for a GA-TL1 Longsword fighter attached to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552. During the opening stages of the Battle of Installation 04, it was piloted by Commander Ichijyo and Lieutenant Commander Takaya, who served as the ship's naval flight officer and weapons officer, respectively.[1]
Service history
Knife 07 was one of five Longsword fighters attached to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn when the ship escaped from the Fall of Reach in August 30, 2552. When the ship arrived at Installation 04 on September 19, the UNSC forces were confronted with the Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice. Knife 07 was likely destroyed during the space battle over the ring.
Production notes
Knife 07 first appeared in Halo: Combat Evolved as of the five Longswords in the opening cinematic, albeit without a callsign for identification. Its designation and the identity of its pilots were revealed in Halo: Campaign Evolved on display screens in the bridge of the Autumn. The names of the pilots are references to Hikaru Ichijyo from Super Dimension Fortress Macross and Noriko Takaya from Gunbuster.
