Morsam-pattern Seraph: Difference between revisions

Having read Halo: The Flood multiple times and not recalling any such mention of a Seraph having stealth capabilities by shutting down most of its systems, basing such a claim on a 'question mark' citation is problematic.

The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like shape, fitting with the overall design elegance the [[Covenant]] is known for. Seraph fighters are mostly stored in the hangar bays of Covenant ships or stations when they are not in battle or escorting a ship. Seraphs have two movable flaps on either side of their hull, and their twin "tails" are articulated to aid with directing exhaust. These features give the Seraph superior turning capabilities in zero-gravity environments.

As the [[Covenant]]'s main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in space, and can easily keep pace with the [[UNSC]]'s [[YSS-1000 Sabre|Sabres]] and Longswords.<ref name="ghosts">'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', ''page ??''</ref> Though not specifically intended for in-atmospheric use, Seraphs still are significantly faster than [[Banshees]] while flying at low altitudes. They have even been shown to fly in the hurricane force winds of the gas giant [[Threshold]]. The Seraph also appears to be able to power down and become invisible to Human ship sensors.<ref>'''''[[Halo: The Flood]]''''', ''page ??''</ref> This has proven to be extremely useful for sneaking past ship defenses undetected.
