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 exclusively as a space combat craft rather than as a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted heavy plasma cannon, four side-mounted, smaller heavy plasma cannons, (two on either side), and one aft plasma cannon. These weapons fire large plasma rounds similar to those of the normal "concussion" heavy plasma cannon. 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]
