	The Seraphim is an intercept pilot's worst nightmare in FreeSpace and FreeSpace 2. It's so strong, it can tank paired [[GTM Trebuchet\|Trebuchet]]s head-on! Its turret mounts are all over the place, meaning that regardless of where you attack it from, you'll definitely have to take a few retaliatory hits. If you encounter any of these, and you have Trebuchets to spare, hit it at long range with four Trebuchets. If you can't do that (or you don't have any), close in upon it at two clicks, augment your front shield and start firing like crazy.

	An alternate way of killing Seraphims quickly is to concentrate your fire on one quarter, brining down its shields rather quickly. Then scrap its hull to tiny pieces. This tactic is applicable to other bomber types, too, but the heavier the bomber the more viable this strategy is.

			If you're on a slow ship (the Ares or Hercules Mark Two stands to mind) and for some reason you're low on or can't carry Trebuchet missiles, an anti-shield cannon (mainly the [[Prometheus S]]) and a Maxim can work really well if you focus on one quadrant.

The '''SB ''Seraphim''''' is a [[Shivans\|Shivan]]-designed bomber. First encountered shortly after the destruction of the [[SD Lucifer\|SD ''Lucifer'']], the ''Seraphim'' is one of the heaviest Shivan bombers ever encountered. Although similar in most respects to the [[SB Nephilim\|SB ''Nephilim'']], due to a higher payload, greater number of primary weapons and marginally superior speed, the ''Seraphim'' is generally considered a greater threat.

Snail: Deleted a large block of the opening text. I just didn't find any of that necessary. It's like a redundant fan-made tech description. (those in opposition may feel free to revert)

In most respects, the ''Seraphim'' is similar to the ''Nephilim'', especially in terms of maneuverability, hull and shielding, and the lack of an afterburner. In comparison, however, the ''Seraphim'' is slightly faster, capable of carry 50% more ordnance than the ''Nephilim'', and sports three primary fire systems in contrast to the ''Nephilim'''s one. In addition, the ''Seraphim'' has an astonishing thirteen primary fire and turret mounts in all which, combined with its strong shields, durable hull and hard-to-hit (but still very large) profile, makes it a great threat to any ship in the vicinity.
