7-89 was a GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor of the UNSC Navy.

BackgroundEdit

7-89's crash site.
CorkeyandpalsAdded by Corkeyandpals

It was one of the interceptors stationed onboard the frigate UNSC Forward Unto Dawn. In 2552, the Forward Unto Dawn was attached to the Sangheili Fleet of Retribution in the UNSC - Covenant Separatists attack on the Ark during the Battle of Installation 00.

7-89 was shot down by a Covenant Loyalist Type-27 Anti-Aircraft Cannon and subsequently crashed in the desert near the wall protecting the Cartographer.

Interestingly, though it was shot down, and the cockpit was seemingly unrecognizable, radio chatter could still be heard coming out of the crashed Longsword.

TriviaEdit

  • It is likely that Bungie used only one model for all Longswords in Halo 3, just like Forward Unto Dawn in Halo 3. This would explain the two identically named Longsword fighters.
  • In Theater Mode, the remains of 7-89 can be seen before the craft appears by pausing during the entrance of 7-89 and positioning the camera toward the hill.
  • The multiplayer map Tempest in Halo: Reach has a crashed Longsword on it with the numbers 7-89 on it.
