The '''Type-44 Troop Carrier''' ('''T-44 TC'''), commonly known as the '''Phantom''', is a [[Covenant]] [[dropship]] manufactured by [[Achoem Weapons]]. It was largely replaced by the [[Type-52 Phantom]] later in the [[Human-Covenant War]], although after the war the T-44 has seen use by the disparate [[Covenant remnants]]. | The '''Type-44 Troop Carrier''' ('''T-44 TC'''), commonly known as the '''Phantom''', is a [[Covenant]] [[dropship]] manufactured by [[Achoem Weapons]].

The Type-44 Phantom's prominence was due to its speed, maneuverability, and firepower in atmospheric and exoatmospheric environments. It was favored by the [[Covenant]] for its armor's resilience in numerous environmental conditions. Due to these beneficial factors, the Type-44 Phantom became one of the most significant vehicles deployed by the Covenant during assaults or occupations of hostile sites. | The Type-44 Phantom's prominence was due to its speed, maneuverability, and firepower in atmospheric and exoatmospheric environments. It was favored by the [[Covenant]] for its armor's resilience in numerous environmental conditions. Due to these beneficial factors, the Type-44 Phantom became one of the most significant vehicles deployed by the Covenant during assaults or occupations of hostile sites.{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}} In the last year of the [[Human-Covenant War]] it was supplanted by a newer model, the [[Type-52 Phantom|Type-52]] though many Covenant troops never used the newer model. Currently, the Type-44 Phantom is the most common version of the Phantom. [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] used the Type-44 as their primary [[dropship]], due to the scarcity of the T-52 after [[High Charity]]'s destruction.<ref name="WP">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/phantom '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Phantom'']</ref> The Type-44 Phantom's payload capacity is similar to that of the Type-52. The Type-44 can transport twenty to thirty soldiers, as well as at least two [[Type-26 Banshee]]s or [[Type-32 Ghost]]s, or just one [[Type-26 Wraith]].<ref name="h4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> Despite the strength of its armor, the [[UNSC]]'s [[G79H-TC Pelican]] was capable of besting a Type-44 Phantom in combat.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Shutdown]]''</ref> | ||
The Type-44 Phantom additionally is equipped with a long [[boarding]] umbilical that can be extended from the dropship to connect to the hull or glass windows of another vessel, allowing the Phantom to fulfill a role that is somewhat similar to that of the [[Type-28 boarding craft]]. Once the umbilical forms a connection with a vessel, it will breach the material, depressurizing the room that is being breached until a rapidly deployed force field seals the breach.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Dawn]]''</ref> | The Type-44 Phantom additionally is equipped with a long [[boarding]] umbilical that can be extended from the dropship to connect to the hull or glass windows of another vessel, allowing the Phantom to fulfill a role that is somewhat similar to that of the [[Type-28 boarding craft]].

The weaponry of a Type-44 Phantom is similar to its successor, the [[Type-52 Phantom|Type-52]]. The Phanton's reasonably distributed firepower was another reason for its prominence. Its primary armament is one [[Heavy plasma cannon|Type-44 Directed Energy Weapon/M]] plasma autocannon and its secondary armament is two [[Type-52 plasma cannon]]s. | The weaponry of a Type-44 Phantom is similar to its successor, the [[Type-52 Phantom|Type-52]].
