The '''''Ru'Swum''-pattern warrior transport''',{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=282}} classified by [[human]]ity as the  '''Type-44 Troop Carrier''' ('''T-44 TC''') by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces, commonly known as the '''Phantom''', is a [[Covenant]] [[dropship]] and gunship in service with the [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|successors]].{{Ref/Reuse|WP}}

== Specifications ==
=== Design details ===
[[File:Brute Pack.jpg|thumb|250px|left|[[Jiralhanae]] soldiers aboard a ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom.]]
The ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom was common among the [[Covenant fleet]]s associated with the [[hierarch]] decrees.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Currently the most common version of the Phantom,{{Ref/Reuse|WP}} it was quite so popular that several variants with exotic weapons systems, shield components, and even bvearching tools, were crafted to facilitate all possible operational needs.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Its 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 ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom became one of the most significant vehicles deployed by the Covenant during assaults or occupations of hostile sites.{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}}  Despite the strength of its armor, the [[UNSC]]'s [[G79H-TC Pelican]] was capable of besting a ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom in combat.{{Ref/Level|Id=shut|H4|Shutdown}}

=== Armament ===
Although Phantoms are rarely deployed in a gunship role, they are equipped with a large armament.{{Ref/Site|Id=waypoint|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/detail/phantom/b5b73b06-50fa-4bcf-b624-ae5110223eb2|Site=Halo Official Site|Page=Phantom Halo Official Site|D=28|M=12|Y=2011}} The Phanton's reasonably distributed firepower was another reason for its prominence. Its primary armament is one single [[Heavy plasma cannon|Type-44 Directed Energy Weapon/M]] plasma autocannon located underneath its nose and twin and its side-mounted secondary armament is two [[Type-52 plasma cannon]]s attached to the dropship’s open bay doors,{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}} which allow gunners to swiftly clear the deployment zones.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}

===Crew and complement===
The Phantom crew consists of a pilot, a weapon officer,{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}} and two gunners who are both in charge of two plamsa cannons,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} which are typically [[Unggoy]] troops.{{Ref/Reuse|h4}}{{Ref/Game|Id=hr|HR|Detail=''campaign and multiplayer gameplay''}} The ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom's payload capacity is similar to that of the ''Kez'katu''-pattern as it can transport twenty-four (up to thirty){{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} soldier "standard" passengers,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} and at least two [[Type-26 Banshee]]s or [[Type-32 Ghost]]s, or just one [[Type-26 Wraith]],{{Ref/Game|Id=h4|H4|In-game unit}} as well as essential equipment such as [[deployable lookout tower]]s, and components of [[Type-27 Mantis|anti-aircraft batteries]] by utilizing its [[gravity lift]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} While passengers are generally deployed from the ventral [[gravity lift]] and from the doors located by either of the dropship's large side doors, [[Mgalekgolo]] soldiers due to their size are deployed from the Phantom through the use of its gravity lift.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc09|Enc09|Page=268}}{{Ref/Book|Id=enc11|Enc11|Page=281}} They have also been seen to transport teams of [[Huragok]], which are carried in cases and swing from the Phantom's underside.{{Ref/Game|Id=odst|ODST|Detail=''campaign gameplay''}}

===Usage===
Although the ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom were less freqeuntly used since the much earlier stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]], such as during [[Battle of Alpha Corvi II]]{{Ref/Comic|Id=hcd|HCD|Issue=[[Halo: Collateral Damage Issue 1|#1]]}} and [[Harvest campaign]],{{Ref/Comic|HWG}} its most prominent use was during the final engagements, including the [[Fall of Reach]] and [[Battle for Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} In the [[2552|last year]] of the Human-Covenant War, it was largely supplanted by a newer pattern, the {{Pattern|Kez'katu|Phantom}}, though many Covenant troops never used the newer model.{{Ref/Reuse|WP}} After the war, disparate [[Covenant remnants]],{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}} such as [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]], used the ''Ru'Swum''-pattern as their primary [[dropship]], due to the scarcity of the ''Kez'katu''-pattern after [[High Charity]]'s destruction.{{Ref/Site|Id=WP|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/phantom|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Phantom|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} Although warring Sangheili factions has made extensive use of the ''Ru'Swum''-pattern Phantom, the UNSC also captured a large number of these vehicles during the [[Requiem Campaign]].{{Ref/Reuse|WP}} The {{Pattern|Mikpramu|Phantom}} would later be seen in widespread use by Covenant factions and [[Swords of Sanghelios]] due to diminishing numbers of ''Ru'Swum''-pattern and ''Kez'katu''-pattern Phantoms.{{Ref/Reuse|WP}}

==Variants==
*'''Phantom ship breacher''' – Several Type-44 Phantoms deployed by Jul' Mdama's Covenant were additionally 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 {{Pattern|R'sisho|Tick}} and {{Pattern|Brhi Xur|Leech}}. 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/Level|H4|Dawn}}

===Cannon configurations===
Several other models of Phantoms with cannon configurations exist, although they are essentially the same in both design and function. The troop capacity and armament of a Phantom varies depending on its model.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}}

*'''Semi-automatic cannon configuration''' – These Phantoms are armed with a [[heavy plasma cannon]] that has a slow rate of fire but an explosive effect upon impact, similar to a {{Pattern|Elo'Nakada|concussion rifle}}.{{Ref/Reuse|hr}} They were extensively deployed during the [[Fall of Reach]] and later during the [[Battle of Installation 04]].{{Ref/Game|Id=hfr|Halo: Fireteam Raven}}
*'''Automatic cannon configuration''' – These Phantoms are armed with a fully automatic heavy plasma cannon that has a faster rate of fire than that of a Phantom armed with a semi-automatic cannon but a less explosive effect upon impact, and they fire blue-colored shots, unlike other Phantom models. They were prominently used by the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's fleet|forces]] and also by the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] during the [[Battle for Earth]] and later the [[Battle of Installation 00]].{{Ref/Game|Id=h3|H3|Detail=''campaign gameplay''}}

Several Phantom gunships during [[Battle of Requiem|conflicts]] [[Requiem Campaign|for]] [[Requiem]] were armed with a heavy plasma cannon that fires unusually fast, possibly for balance against vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|shut}}{{Ref/Quest|H4|Expansion=Spartan Ops|Chapter=Catherine|Mission=[[Catherine/Shootout In Valhalla|Shootout In Valhalla]]}}

===''Retribution'' Phantom===
The [[Fleet of Retribution]] used customized Phantoms following the [[Great Schism]].{{Ref/Level|Id=flood|H3|Floodgate}} These Phantoms were similar in function and appearance to the "normal" Phantom model, but they were colored an iridescent green instead of the usual purple,{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} likely to match the [[UNSC]]'s vehicle color schemes shortly after allying with [[human]]ity against the [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant during the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 00]]. These Phantoms were equipped also with [[cloaking]] technology, something rarely seen on ships of their size.{{Ref/Level|Id=covenant|H3|[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]}} After the Covenant's [[Battle of the Citadel|defeat]], [[Type-57 Phantom]]s were used instead and the green color was replaced with a red color to match the color scheme of [[Swords of Sanghelios]] infantry.{{Ref/Level|Id=sos|H5|[[Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Saghelios]]}} By [[2558]], at least one green-colored Phantom was used by [[Kig-Yar]] [[piracy|pirates]] on [[Ven III]], which may indicate that this dropship may be a original Phantom used by the Fleet of Retribution and have been fallen into Kig-Yar pirates' hands.{{Ref/Comic|Id=esc12|HE|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 12|#12]]}}

==Gameplay==
In ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Phantom's three guns, the side doors and platforms, the engine plates, and its hind flaps, as well as its entire well being, are destructible, unlike the ''Kez'katu''-pattern Phantom in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The Phantom's rear is most susceptible to damage, although this weakness was removed in ''Halo: Reach''. When destroyed, the Phantom will float down, emit sparks and a loud whirring noise, then explode into wreckage, although in ''Halo: Reach'' the Phantom simply explodes.

===Tactics===
*Taking down a Phantom is tempting to do so in Firefight or Campaign; however, it is unwise to do so if there are Phantoms traveling in groups, as they might pin you down with their plasma guns or in the most extreme cases, kill you.
*It is recommended to destroy the Phantom's armaments before taking it out, otherwise they may pin you down.
*If possible, stay under the Phantom and shoot at the drop-off zone where Covenant jump off. You can get a few easy kills with that. However, be wary of the plasma guns.
*Use a heavy weapon to destroy a Phantom. A [[Spartan Laser]], the [[Warthog]]'s LAAV guns, or a [[Rocket Launcher]] or a [[Fuel Rod Gun]] will do the trick.
*With heavy weapons like the Rocket Launcher or a Spartan Laser as well as mounted vehicle weapons like the [[Scorpion]] tank's cannon or an [[M68 Gauss Cannon]].
*Aim for the twin engines (the silver parts on its front), as those are its weak points. However, the weak points are removed as of ''Halo: Reach''.

===Changes===
====Changes from the ''Kez'katu''-pattern Phantom in ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3''====
*The Phantom is now destructible, vulnerable to heavy weapons and explosives. Nevertheless, it is very durable and able to take up to six shots from a Scorpion tank.
*The Phantom's hull is now a medium-dark violet in ''Halo 3'', rather than magenta as it is in ''Halo 2''.
*The Phantom's flight noise has been reduced from a loud buzzing to a low hum but the overall tone is pretty much the same.
*The Phantom fires shots that are now a blue color, rather than a vivid red.
*The Phantom can deliver troops by opening side doors, not just by the gravity lift.
*The Phantom no longer has three separate auto-cannons - they now have one chin-mounted auto-cannon, and two Type-52 Plasma Cannons on either side of the troop bay.
*The troop bay is open on both sides where the plasma turrets are and it is fully accessible by the player as they can leap into it before it takes off. The player is usually killed when the Phantom hits a [[Invisible wall|death barrier]].
*The main cannon's rate of fire is slower.
*The two upper tail-like parts in the rear of the Phantom appear smaller.
*A green-colored variant is introduced. The Fleet of Retribution variant is used by the Elites and has the ability to camouflage itself.

====Changes from ''Halo 3'' to ''Halo 3: ODST''====
*The wreckage from its destruction is smaller to compensate for the Xbox 360's hardware capabilities.
*The Phantom can carry Engineers in pod-like cases.
*The Phantom's main cannon is equipped with a searchlight for night missions.

====Changes from ''Halo 3'' to ''Halo: Reach''====
*The auto-cannon is replaced by a cannon that has a slower rate of fire and has a more explosive effect upon impact, similar to a [[Type-50 Concussion Rifle]].
*The two front engine turbines no longer glow blue.
*There are no longer any "weak points"; it takes the same amount of weapons fire to destroy regardless of hit location.
*When hit by weapons fire, it no longer takes visible damage aside from the chin and side guns being knocked off.
*When destroyed, instead of having an "overload" phase where it drops and then explodes, the targeted Phantom instantly explodes as soon as it takes enough damage.
*Far less debris is left behind when destroyed; only the debris from the chin gun, the Type-52 Plasma Cannons on the sides, and a portion of the cockpit will be left when it explodes. Furthermore, not all Phantoms encountered are destructible.
*The Phantom has more health, capable of withstanding up to five [[M808C Scorpion]] shots before exploding.
*A variant outfitted for space combat, called the [[Phantom gunboat]], is introduced.

== Production notes ==
{{Expand-section}}

== Trivia ==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*In the [[Keep It Clean (Trailer)|trailer]] for ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', a Phantom is seen on patrol using two bright searchlights to sweep the streets. Oddly, the lights are located in the exact location as the Phantom's chin-mounted gun, possibly meaning that this Phantom was specifically adapted for patrol or that its gun had a headlight mounted alongside it. In the cutscene where the Rookie receives a transmission from Dare, the Phantom that passes by has a searchlight mounted on the front turret. This headlight feature also appears in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
*In ''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s Firefight mode, a well-aimed [[M41 rocket launcher]] shot to the Phantom's cockpit can blast out the pilot (a Grunt), killing it and sending it spiraling out of the vehicle. When this happens, the Phantom stops and hovers for a few seconds before falling to the ground. Any personnel that are within the Phantom do not react and are not deployed.
*In the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short film, ''[[Prototype]]'', a Phantom is seen carrying a Wraith ''inside'' its troop bay, as opposed to hovering below it. This may be a means to protect the Wraith from being destroyed before it is deployed or it could simply be an oversight made by the artists.
*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', a player can pilot a Phantom through the [[Flyable Pelican and Phantom]] easter egg. Unlike the Pelican, it can be destroyed, though unlike other vehicles it shows no outward indication of damage.
*In ''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s Firefight mode, the Phantom cannot be destroyed.
* During the level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]'', in the hangar, if the player activates the barrier while a Phantom is still inside the station, the vehicle will explode once it comes in contact with the barrier.
* In ''Halo 4'', if the player tries to board a Phantom or drop pod, they will fall through the floor. This is probably because the floor is not programmed to be walked on. 
* In ''Halo 4'', if the two plasma gunners and the main gun are destroyed, the Phantom is usually destroyed. This can be seen on the Spartan Ops mission ''[[Key/Science Mountain|Science Mountain]]'', by shooting the red arrows on the Phantoms with a Scorpion, however in missions such as ''[[Catherine/The VIP|The VIP]]'' the guns can be blown off without affecting for the most part the dropship or its occupants.
*According to [[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]] in ''[[Scattered/Escape Plan|Escape Plan]]'', it is not hard to hijack a Phantom. Utilizing a Covenant console in "[[Lockup]]," Miller proved to be able to hack the security systems on one of the dropships and bring it under his control in just a few minutes time.
*Some phantoms, particularly those on Shutdown and Shootout in Valhalla, fire unusually fast, possibly for balance against vehicles.
