The C709 Longsword retains the most distinctive characteristics of the GA-TL1 Longsword line, including a wide delta-wing shape, an angular boom-like structure, and two engines mounted beneath the wings on either side of the fuselage. However, it has some differences.

The interior of the C709 Longsword is divided into two levels connected by a staircase, with the bottom floor only used to access the retractable ramp used to embark and disembark from the craft. A corridor runs the length of the fuselage, with the back leading to the staircase and a large door that opens into an additional room: presumably leading to where its armored weapons locker lined with a centimeter of [[titanium-A]] is held, as well as a [[cryo chamber]].<ref name="FS5"/> On the opposite side is the cockpit, which has two seated stations for the pilot and systems operator, and two standing stations for the navigator and copilot behind them. They all have various control interfaces and information readouts. A large screen is positioned directly in front at the front of the cockpit, and an AI [[Holotank]] is located between the two seats.<ref name="CE"/>{{clear}} | The interior of the C709 Longsword is divided into two levels connected by a staircase, with the bottom floor only used to access the retractable ramp used to embark and disembark from the craft.
