= | The '''Z-1800 Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter''',<ref name="universe"/> alternatively known as '''Phaeton''', is a class of [[Forerunner]] [[weapon-ship]] employed in a role analogous to a [[VTOL]] gunship.<ref name="E3D2">[https://youtu.be/qjWxS59ySP0?t=442 '''YouTube''': ''E3 Day 2 - Halo 5 Segment'']</ref> These craft were encountered by UNSC forces in several engagements following the [[Requiem Campaign]].<ref>[http://news.xbox.com/2015/02/games-halo-nyc-toy-fair-2015 '''Xbox Wire''':''Toy Fair 2015'']</ref><ref name="E3 2015 demo">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwjwJ9Z_XYs '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5 E3 Campaign Demo'']</ref> | ||
==Design details== | |||
Controlled by a single pilot, the Phaeton has a [[teleport]] ability that allows the aircraft to move short distances rapidly in any direction.<ref name="rul gameplay">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Xz2Ggn5tU '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5 WARZONE GAMEPLAY | Full Match | Phaeton, Plasma Caster, Running Riot'']</ref> The Phaeton is armed with a chin-mounted dual set of [[directed-energy weapon]]s along with missile launcher-like weapons on both sides of the fuselage.<ref name="rul gameplay"/> The Phaeton has a highly mutable design pattern. | |||

A single Forerunner [[Warrior-Servant]] could command thousands of Phaetons and support vessels, trusting in their [[Promethean Soldier|Soldier]] pilots to self-organize into tactical phalanxes that could be thrown against the trillions of Flood combat forms and their vast fleets of corrupted Forerunner ships. Few survived to see the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], though their remains form debris rings around shattered worlds and dead fleets throughout the galaxy.<ref name="universe"/> | ||

These vessels were supplemented by newly grown craft in October [[2558]]. [[Cortana]]'s [[Promethean]]s used several Phaetons during the battles of [[Battle of Kamchatka|Kamchatka]], [[Battle of Meridian (2558)|Meridian]], [[Battle of Genesis|Genesis]], and [[Battle of Nuusra|Nuusra]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||

*In [[Wikipedia:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Phaethon|Phaeton]] was the son of the god [[Wikipedia:Helios|Helios]]. | |||
*The Phaeton's tactical use can be considered analogous to the UNSC's AV-14 Hornet. | |||
