During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], the Prophet of Truth's fleet deployed numerous Seraphs against the UNSC/Sangheili fleet in an effort to stop them from landing ground forces on the Ark. The Seraphs shot down a few Pelicans, but could not stop the others from breaking through.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref> The Seraphs were presumably destroyed along with the rest of the Covenant fleet.
