The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like design, fitting with the overall design elegance the Covenant are known for. Seraph fighters are mostly stored in the hangar bays of Covenant ships or stations when they are not in battle or escorting a ship. 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. | The Seraph features a piscine, teardrop-like design, fitting with the overall design elegance the Covenant are known for.

As the Covenant's main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in a vacuum, and can easily keep pace with the UNSC's Sabres and Longswords.<ref name="ghosts">'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', ''page ??''</ref> Though not specifically intended for in-atmospheric use, Seraphs still are significantly faster than the Banshee while flying at low altitude | As the Covenant's main space-based attack fighter, the Seraph is highly maneuverable while in a vacuum, and can easily keep pace with the UNSC's Sabres and Longswords.<ref name="ghosts">'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', ''page ??''</ref> Though not specifically intended for in-atmospheric use, Seraphs still are significantly faster than the Banshee while flying at low altitude. They have even been shown to fly in the hurricane force winds of the gas giant [[Threshold]]. The Seraph also appears to be able to power down and become invisible to Human ship sensors.<ref>'''''[[Halo: The Flood]]''''', ''page ??''</ref> This has proven extremely useful for sneaking past ship defenses undetected and hitting vulnerable areas. | ||
