A single Forerunner [[Warrior-Servant]] could command thousands of Phaetons and support vessels, trusting in their [[Armiger Soldier|Soldier]] pilots to self-organize into tactical phalanxes that could be thrown against the trillions of Flood combat forms and their vast fleets of corrupted Forerunner ships. Few survived to see the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], though their remains form debris rings around shattered worlds and dead fleets throughout the galaxy.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | ||
Most [[Guardian]]s were assigned a modest wing of Phaetons to carry out their duties. These vessels were supplemented by newly grown craft in [[2558#October|October 2558]]. [[Cortana]]'s [[Promethean]]s used Phaetons during the battles of [[Battle of Kamchatka|Kamchatka]], [[Battle of Meridian (2558)|Meridian]], [[Battle of Genesis|Genesis]], and [[Battle of Nuusra|Nuusra]]. In addition, both [[Blue Team]] and [[Fireteam Osiris]] were able to use the craft on Genesis and [[Sanghelios]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | Most [[Guardian]]s were assigned a modest wing of Phaetons to carry out their duties.
