| ==Overview== | | ==Specifications== |
| ===Design details=== | | ===Design details=== |
| The ''Mikpramu'' [[design pattern]] of Phantom is based on ancient [[Sangheili]] designs,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} sporting a more traditional appearance inspired by aquatic ray-like predators found on [[Sangheili colonies]]. They were seldom used during the [[Covenant]] due to the design being considered inelegant by [[San'Shyuum]] legislators, with the {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom|}} and later {{Pattern|Kez'katu|Phantom|}}s manufactured by the [[Assembly Forges]] instead preferred.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} With the Covenant's [[Great Schism|collapse]] in [[2552]] and the emergence of a Sangheili [[Blooding Years|civil war]], Sangheili warlords instead turned to independent manufacturers such as [[Achoem Weapons]], [[Kolaar Manufactorum]], and [[Malurok Armory]] to begin supplying replacement Phantoms instead. To help maintain supply, these manufacturers looked back to older design patterns of Phantom and retrofitted them with more modern weapon and propulsion systems.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} As such, the ''Mikpramu'' is easy to manufacture and maintain without access to high-tier fabrication facilities, at the sacrifice of exoatmospheric performance.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}}
| | Whereas [[Phantom]] models produced under the [[Covenant]]'s reign had to comply with [[San'Shyuum]] architectural strictures, the Type-57 Phantom sports a traditional [[Sangheili]] design. Its appearance is inspired by aquatic predators found on [[Sangheili colonies]]. The new Phantom is one of several post-Covenant Sangheili-designed vehicles to bear this design philosophy, an aesthetic which the San'Shyuum found inelegant.<ref name="fodder"/> The T-57 is easy to manufacture and maintain without access to high-tier fabrication facilities, at the sacrifice of exoatmospheric performance.<ref name="HW"/> |

| ===Variants=== | | ==Operational history== |
| *'''Stealth-modified Phantom:''' stealth-equipped ''Mikpramu''s are a prototype craft currently in development as part of a partnership between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the Swords of Sanghelios (and seemingly a follow-up on the basic premise of the [[Covenant separatists]]' green-coloured, [[active camouflage]]-capable {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}s used in [[2552]]). The initiative, pioneered especially by the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Chief of Naval Operations]], [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]], seeks to share [[human]] stealth technology used on the UNSC's own dropships (such as the [[D102 Owl]]) to better improve the Swords' own stealth dropships. The program is apparently controversial within the UNSC, though is believed by its proponents to be of value in strengthening the ties that bind the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios as to prevent another war from occurring; and if one ''were'' to break out, the unfettered access provided to vehicles of Covenant origin may be a boon to UNSC forces anyway. The work on the project is undertaken by human engineers (such as [[Ellie Gracio]]) working alongside Kolaar Manufactorum's own personnel, with the prototypes referred to by codenames such as "''the toy''" as to confuse the eavesdropping [[artificial intelligence]]s of the [[Created]]. Due to [[Blooding Years|previous issues]] caused by the strained working relationship between the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and the Sangheili, [[Olympia Vale]] remains convinced that at least one of the human engineers working on the project is an ONI agent working to slip an exploitable backdoor into the stealth project as to ensure it wouldn't outstrip UNSC capabilities.{{Ref/Novel|Id=OC3|HOut|Chapter=3}}
| | The Type-57 DTC was put into service in the aftermath of the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] due to dwindling numbers of [[Type-44 Phantom|Type-44]] and [[Type-52 Phantom]]s.<ref name="HW"/> Various factions—most notably [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]—called upon allied [[Sangheili colonies|colonies]] and renovated long-abandoned manufacturing facilities to produce the dropship, along with other war matériel. The Type-57 was used in multiple battles, including the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and various engagements in the [[Blooding Years]].<ref name="fodder"/> By October, 2558 T-57 Phantoms were often used in [[Warzone]] [[War Games|simulations]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> |

| ==Operational history==
| |
| While the ''Mikpramu''-pattern Phantom saw service as early as the [[Battle of Earth]],{{Ref/Reuse|S1Trailer}} it was not catalogued by the [[United Nations Space Command]] until [[2557]]. The craft did not see widespread service until the aftermath of the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] due to dwindling numbers of {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom|}} and {{Pattern|Kez'katu|Phantom}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} Various factions—most notably [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]—called upon allied [[Sangheili colonies|colonies]] and renovated long-abandoned manufacturing facilities to produce the dropship, along with other war matériel.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} The ''Mikpramu'' was used in multiple battles, including the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and various engagements in the [[Blooding Years]].{{Ref/Reuse|fodder}} By October 2558, ''Mikpramu'' Phantoms were often used in [[Warzone]] [[War Games|simulations]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

|
| |
| The stealth ''Mikpramu'' program undertaken by Kolaar Manufactorum resulted in at least one operational prototype that was, in [[2559#November|November 2559]], covertly used by [[Thel 'Vadam]] in order to covertly exfiltrate from [[Vadam Keep]] on Sanghelios without being detected by the Created. To achieve this, he had five other spacecraft launch in unison, distracting the Created's patrolling [[Phaeton]] and [[Aethra]] aircraft in order to leave airspace around Kolaar free for launch.{{Ref/Reuse|OC3}}

|
| |
| During the [[Banished]] [[Battle of Suban|invasion]] of [[Suban]] in [[2560]], a ''Mikpramu''-pattern Phantom was used by a joined Sword/Spartan taskforce in a surprise attack to the Banished-occupied [[Mines of Shua'ree]]. Later, more ''Mikpramu'' Phantoms were used by the Swords of Sanghelios to fend off the Banished fleet attacking the moon.{{Ref/Map|HINF|Prism}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=blood-moon|Halo: Battle for the Blood-Moon}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| [[:Category:Images by Alex Cunningham|Alex Cunningham's]] original concept art for the Phantom, produced for ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', lists the dropship as capable of carrying 28 passengers (of [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] size, or smaller), 4 [[Ghost]]s, or 1 [[Wraith]]. For the final canon, this number was changed to 20 passengers.
