Longsword 91-002

Longsword 91-002 was the tail number for a GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor of the UNSC Air Force. Assigned to the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing, it was a part of the Air Combat Command. As per it's tail wing information, this was the second Longsword airframe manufactured and delivered in 2491.

Background
During UNSC exploration of an unidentified Forerunner installation, this vessel was shot down by an unseen projectile leading the rear of the vessel to explode. Parts of the left wing would fall into the sea near a beach close to a Forerunner weather station while the fore section crashed straight into the sand; its remaining wing tilting into the air. It can be assumed that the Longsword had been grounded there for quite a period of time, considering its coloring and the growth of vegetation along its wing.

This particular Longsword seems to be significantly smaller than standard variants used by the UNSC Navy. This can be seen by comparing to other vehicles on the map. This is most likely a design oversight.
