Seraph-class starfighter

Summary
Seraphs are the Covenant's main starfighter, it is considered the Covenant's answer to the Human Longsword. It is tear drop shaped and is armed with plasma cannons and guided plasma torpedoes. Mainly used to attack or defend higher-ranking cruisers from attacking Longsword Fighters.

Appearances
Seraphs are never seen in action in the games, although they are often mentioned in the novels. The only time a Seraph is seen at all in the games is in Halo 2, on the levels The Arbiter and The Oracle, where one is seen in a hangar in a Forerunner facility in Threshold, which the Covenant storms in an attack on the Heretics. The Heretic Leader attempts to escape the storm on Threshold in the Seraph, but is successfully stopped by the Arbiter, who slays him in combat. The Seraphs can also be seen at the end of Cairo Station in the cinematic scene where Master Chief is about to return the Covenant's bomb, but they speed by fast, so you can't really get a good look at them then.
