An exoatmospheric combat variant of Phantom outfitted exclusively for space-based engagements, known as the [[Phantom gunboat]], swaps its Type-52 plasma cannons for four plasma turrets mounted around the hull, and a chin-mounted heavy plasma cannon. While similar in design to the default Phantom, the gunboat is significantly larger in size and is equipped with [[energy shielding]] for missile deflection.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 21: Hunt for the Phantom|Hunt for the Phantom]]''</ref> | An exoatmospheric combat variant of Phantom outfitted exclusively for space-based engagements, known as the [[Phantom gunboat]], swaps its Type-52 plasma cannons for four plasma turrets mounted around the hull, and a chin-mounted heavy plasma cannon.
