Phaeton

The Phaeton is a Promethean VTOL gunship. These craft were encountered by UNSC forces in several engagements following the Requiem Campaign.

Design details
Controlled by a single pilot, the Phaeton has a teleport ability that allows the aircraft to move short distances rapidly in any direction. The Phaeton is armed with a chin-mounted dual set of directed-energy weapons along with missile launcher-like weapons on both sides of the fuselage.
