The '''''Seraph''-class Starfighter''' is a widely used [[Covenant]] starfighter, essentially the Covenant's counterpart to the [[UNSC]] [[C709 Longsword starfighter|Longsword]]. Each Seraph has a teardrop and porcine design, likely aesthetically pleasing to Covenant sensibilities, since such carapace-like curves are prevalent throughout Covenant design.

Seraphs have demonstrated that they are an effective counter-weapon against [[UNSC]] [[Longsword]] fighters. They usually attack in formations of ten, with their assaults on enemy ships ranging from simple harassment, to full out strafing attacks. They have also been seen patrolling in pairs.
