The Phantom gunboat is a Covenant exoatmospheric combat craft and a variant of the Type-52 Troop Carrier. It is used for space-based engagements.[1]

Overview

Design details

The Phantom gunboat is similar in design to the standard Type-52 Troop Carrier. However, the gunboat is used as a space combat craft rather than as a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted heavy plasma cannon, four side-mounted plasma turrets, (two on either side), and one aft plasma turret. These weapons fire plasma torpedoes; they are essentially a scaled-down version of the weapon mounted on most Covenant warships. The gunboat is capable of emitting a powerful energy shield that can deflect missile attacks.[1]

Operational history

Several Phantom gunboats assaulted the UNSC refit station Anchor 9 in Operation: UPPER CUT during the Fall of Reach. They were escorted by Type-31 Seraph fighters and Type-27 Banshee interceptors. All the attacking gunboats were destroyed by SPARTAN-B312, who defended the station in a YSS-1000 Sabre.[1]
