| rdfs:comment | - The F-371 Halberd was an atmosphere and exoatmosphere capable, four engine, twin-seat, carrier-capable air/space superiority fighter used by the United Nations Space Command Navy before and during the Swarm War. Based on the spaceframe of the small, carrier-capable F-419C Sabre short range interceptor, the Halberd was an air/space superiority starfighter, designed to maximise on speed, agility, range, armament and protection, without sacrificing any aspects of its performance. Being more capable against single ships than either the Sabre or the F/A-352B Longsword, the Halberd was more expensive and produced in fewer numbers than these craft. The Halberd's role was much like the F-419C Sabre's, but differed in that the Sabre focused on speed, agility and weaponry over endurance and range. T

| abstract | - The F-371 Halberd was an atmosphere and exoatmosphere capable, four engine, twin-seat, carrier-capable air/space superiority fighter used by the United Nations Space Command Navy before and during the Swarm War. Based on the spaceframe of the small, carrier-capable F-419C Sabre short range interceptor, the Halberd was an air/space superiority starfighter, designed to maximise on speed, agility, range, armament and protection, without sacrificing any aspects of its performance. Being more capable against single ships than either the Sabre or the F/A-352B Longsword, the Halberd was more expensive and produced in fewer numbers than these craft. The Halberd's role was much like the F-419C Sabre's, but differed in that the Sabre focused on speed, agility and weaponry over endurance and range. The Halberd, however, aimed to outdo allied and enemy craft alike in all aspects of performance, making it more effective but more costly than other fighter craft. Unlike the Longsword strike starfighter, which focused primarily on ground attack but had secondary abilities in air combat, the Halberd was not intended for ground attack or anti-ship roles and possessed no dedicated air-to-ground or air-to-ship capabilities; however, could attempt these roles to a limited extent using its multi-role weaponry. The Halberd was introduced formally in 2574, too late for the Remnant War that spawned its development; though it later served throughout the Galactic War (2622-2633) and Swarm War (2633-2678).
