Longswords are the ships that flew by the Pillar of Autumn in the beginning of the game. They are attack fighters, and I believe they are the counter to the Covenant Banshee. I think in the books they talked about them attacking banshees. But, in the E3 Demo, they made them look like bombers (when they bombed that big ass weapon the Covenant had.) Also the fact that the Longsword looks 3 times bigger then a banshee. I think the Longsword is the counter of the banshee, but I hope they make another human flying machine to better counteract the banshee.
In the books, Longswords attacked seraphs, the covenant space fighter. But longswords are also capable of flying in atmosphere, and seraphs aren't, but......ok I'm rambling. Anyway, Longswords were made before the covenant invasion.
