The Separatist Phantom, like the Covenant Phantom, was roughly equivalent to the UNSC [[Pelican Dropship]] in terms of function and performance. Unlike the DX-class Dropship, this ship served more as a troop transport than a cargo transport. It was used by the Separatists for the transport of armed combat teams into combat zones -- Some [[Sangheili]] could be seen wearing assault armor when they exited the Phantoms. It made use of [[active camouflage]] generators to fade from sight, making them difficult to find and allowing them to continue to support ground teams even in heavy combat. Like newer versions of the original Phantom, the Separatist Phantom incorporated a chin-mounted Heavy Plasma Cannon, as well as two side-mounted Plasma Cannons to support ground forces and engage aerial threats. | The Separatist Phantom, like the Covenant Phantom, was roughly equivalent to the UNSC [[Pelican Dropship]] in terms of function and performance.

The Separatists use of the Phantom differed little from its Covenant counterpart, and it remained a troop transport intended to support ground forces. However, the inclusion of an [[Active Camouflage]] generator on such a scale meant that it was capable of better stealth, improving its effectiveness. Its green color scheme was used to differentiate it from the Loyalist Phantom, making it fit more into the UNSC Military Green decor. In the level ''[[The Covenant(Level)|The Covenant]]'', if you get in the Separatist Phantom after you come out of the last tower, the ship will disappear, but you will | The Separatists use of the Phantom differed little from its Covenant counterpart, and it remained a troop transport intended to support ground forces.

In the level ''[[The Covenant(Level)|The Covenant]]'', if you get in the Separatist Phantom after you come out of the last tower, the ship will disappear, but you will fall off it as it speeds up flinging you out -- this, however, is more likely because [[Bungie]] did not want players riding on the Phantoms. This can be avoided by killing one of the elites on the plasma cannons and hopping onto it before you are flung to your death. | ||
