Editing Mikpramu-pattern Phantom

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 replacment 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}}

While the Type-57 Phantom saw service as early as the [[Battle of Earth]],{{Ref/Reuse|S1Trailer}} it was not catalogued by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] until [[2557]]. The Type-57 DTC did not see widespread service until the aftermath of the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] due to dwindling numbers of [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Type-44]] and {{Pattern|Ru'swum|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 Type-57 was used in multiple battles, including the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and various engagements in the [[Blooding Years]].{{Ref/Reuse|fodder}} By October 2558, T-57 Phantoms were often used in [[Warzone]] [[War Games|simulations]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
