Knife 25 (K-25) 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 Lieutenant Commander Ray and Commander Dyson, who served as the ship's naval flight officer and weapons officer, respectively.[1]

Service history

Knife 25 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. Early during the battle, an Elsedda-pattern Banshee fired its fuel rod cannons at Knife 25. The fuel rods struck its port side thruster, and sent Knife 25 spinning out of control.[2] Not long after, the Autumn lost connection with Knife 25, which was presumably destroyed.[1]

Production notes

Knife 25 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.
