Kai-pattern Seraphs saw operational use throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]], pages 72-73</ref> These starfighters provided excellent fire support to all Covenant forces in space and on the groundside. Elite pilots considered piloting a Seraph merely a means to attain enough glory to be reassigned to a ground combat position, valuing their fighters only as tools to accomplish this. Despite their extensive training, their honor code gave them a tendency to peel off from their squadrons to engage in one-on-one dogfights, making them vulnerable in combat. Brute pilots were excluded from such training, but their pack mentality and rigid social hierarchy made them far more effective teams. Human pilots soon learned to fear Brute-piloted Seraphs, identified by clan markings and Forerunner symbols carved on their hulls, more than Elite-piloted Seraphs.<ref name="warfleet"/> | Kai-pattern Seraphs saw operational use throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]], pages 72-73</ref> These starfighters provided excellent fire support to all Covenant forces in space and on the groundside.

During the [[Raid on the Threshold gas mine]], [[Sesa 'Refumee]] tried to escape on a Seraph after [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee severed the cable holding [[Threshold gas mine|the gas mine]] suspended in [[Threshold]]'s atmosphere. Though 'Refumee reached the fighter, the Arbiter intercepted him in the hanger and killed 'Refumee before the Heretic Leader could make good his escape.
