UNSC ships also carry a number of C-709 Longsword Interceptors. These are armed with 110mm Gatling Cannons and ASGM-10 Missiles, and heavy payload bombs and even a single Shiva. Alternatively they can be radio controlled and used to carry a Shiva that will be detonated by the starship, effectively destroying both the Longsword and its target. | UNSC ships also carry a number of C-709 Longsword Interceptors.

Despite all of this firepower, however, UNSC warships can seldom defeat Covenant ships in an even engagement. It typically takes multiple hits from a ship-based MAC weapon to disable a Covenant ship's shields, although it was quoted in the game that an orbital MAC weapon can "put a round clean through a Covenant capital ship", and Archer missiles must be used in tremendous amounts to breach Covenant shield systems. Even with their shields down, Covenant ships have been noted to withstand direct hits from normal MAC rounds, This advantage in firepower and shielding gives the Covenant an effective 1:3 ratio or better against UNSC ships. | Despite all of this firepower, however, UNSC warships can seldom defeat Covenant ships in an even engagement.
