On either side of the [[dropship]] lie bay doors that can be sealed for exoatmospheric environments. At the bottom of the Phantom, there is a ventral [[gravity lift]] that is able to tow and carry vehicles to and from destinations or deploy passengers. The gravity lift and bay doors were created to allow quick and simple infantry deployment in nearly any terrain type or environment.<ref name="waypoint"/> A ramp is also attached to the dropship it allow passengers to simply walk off when the Phantom has landed.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]''', ''page ???''</ref> An intruder countermeasure system is also found on Phantoms.<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 142''</ref> | ||
One of the Covenant's primary dropships, the Type-52 Phantom is capable of both infantry transportation and deployment in atmospheric and exoatmospheric environments. Despite being larger than the [[Type-25 Spirit]], the Phantom is notably more maneuverable—capable of gracefully steering and weaving through tightly-cropped environments like narrow gorges, caverns, or urban centers such as a city with ease.<ref name="waypoint"/> The Phantom is roughly equivalent to the [[D77-TC Pelican]] in terms of function and performance. Phantoms are more heavily armed than the Type-25 Spirit dropship, sporting three defensive weapons that offer 360-degree turning radius.<ref name="ENC"/> | One of the Covenant's primary dropships, the Type-52 Phantom is capable of both infantry transportation and deployment in atmospheric and exoatmospheric environments.
