Phantom

"Phantom" is the unofficial UNSC-designation given to the Covenant's distinct class of dropships in the Halo universe.

Known models include the following:


 * Type-44 "Phantom" Troop Carrier - A dropship supplanted by a newer model, the Type-52, which was ubiquitous later in the Human-Covenant War. Jul 'Mdama's Covenant use the Type-44 as their primary dropship, likely due to the scarcity of the newer model.
 * Type-52 "Phantom" Troop Carrier - A more heavily armed version of the Type-44 typically used to transport personnel, though also used to transport matériel.
 * Type-52 "Phantom" Gunboat - Exoatmospheric combat craft and a variant of the Type-52 Troop Carrier. It is used for space-based engagements
