The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like shape, fitting with the overall design elegance the [[Covenant]] is known for. Seraph fighters are mostly stored in the [[hangar bay]]s of Covenant ships or stations when they are not in battle or escorting a ship. ''Morsam''-pattern Seraphs have two movable flaps on either side of their hull, and their twin "tails" are articulated to aid with directing exhaust. These features give the Seraph superior turning capabilities in zero-gravity environments. Despite their efficiency and speed in space, Seraph fighters are graceless and sluggish in atmospheric conditions due to their odd teardrop-like shape. Seraphs fill a variety of roles in a [[Covenant fleet]], such as a strike fighter or for ship-to-ship combat in dogfights.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-gb/universe/detail/82613d70-17cc-4652-8ab1-a1f16e29c516/banshee-fighter '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Banshee Fighter'']</ref> Seraphs can also be used for the occasional bombing run. | The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like shape, fitting with the overall design elegance the [[Covenant]] is known for.

As the Covenant's main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in space, and can easily keep pace with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]. | As the Covenant's main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in space, and can easily keep pace with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s [[GA-TL1 Longsword]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc283}} | ||

Seraphs have demonstrated that they are a very effective counter-weapon against Longsword interceptors unless the latter attacks from the side or behind. Seraphs usually attack in formations of ten, their assaults on enemy ships range from simple harassment to full out strafing attacks. They have also been seen patrolling in pairs. It is assumed that Seraph fighters can be piloted by a single [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]]. | Seraphs have demonstrated that they are a very effective counter-weapon against Longsword interceptors unless the latter attacks from the side or behind.

The Seraph is armed with a variety of weapons. Seraphs are seen firing a heavy plasma cannon, and are also armed with a pulse laser and plasma charges for strafing and bombing runs. | The Seraph is armed with a variety of weapons.
