They are fitted with a twin impulse drive system, this makes the Phantom capable of long-range subluminal travel.[1][2]

It is also equipped with a gravity lift that can be used to pick up and drop off individuals.[1]

In Halo Wars 2, Banished Phantoms are exclusive units for Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee and can be made at Banished outposts once the leader power has unlocked them. Similar to the M650 Mastodon, the Phantom can be used as a mobile garrison. Phantoms perform okay against aircraft, but poorly against infantry, vehicles, and structures. Due to their low offensive power Phantoms benefit greatly from a complement of infantry. If the Phantom is destroyed the passengers will survive, but will take damage. In Blitz the Phantom costs 80 energy.
