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 | 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]].

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}} | ||

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}} | 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.

''Mikpramu''-pattern Phantoms were later used by the Swords of Sanghelios to fend off an armada of [[Banished]] warships attacking [[Suban]].{{Ref/Map|HINF|Prism}} | |||
