The C-709 Longsword Interceptors are fictional fighter spacecraft from the Halo video game series.

They are the most commonly used fighter by the UNSC Navy. This multi-task assault craft can be used in space and atmospheric combat, but it is usually defeated by its superior Covenant counterpart the Seraph.

The C-709 Longsword is equipped with a 110mm Gatling cannon, interior weapons lockers, and Anvil 10 Air Space Missiles. It can carry SHIVA Tactical Nuclear Tipped Missiles [which is fired directly or remote controlled] or "Moray" Space Mine System.

[edit] Appearances

In Halo: Combat Evolved, the Master Chief managed to escape from the destruction of Halo. In Halo: First Strike, which takes place immediately after the Chief's escape, he manages round up a group of survivors, including fellow Spartan Linda, and uses the Longsword to capture a Covenant flagship.

On the first level of Halo 2, a squadron of Longsword fighters can be seen assaulting an invading Covenant fleet.

In several custom maps made for Halo Custom Edition, the Longsword is available as a vehicle.
