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 breaching 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.

=== 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 {{Pattern|Pek|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}}

===Ship breacher configuration===
*'''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}}

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', and ''[[Halo 4]]'' 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 in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', the Phantom will float down, emit sparks and a loud whirring noise, then explode into wreckage, although in ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 4'' the Phantom simply explodes.

====Changes from ''Halo: Reach'' to ''Halo 4''====
*The Phantom now sports a much darker blue-purple color and the lights around the Phantom are now green rather than blue in-line with other Halo 4 era Storm Covenant vehicles and weapons.
*There is no longer any variant of this Phantom that has a spot-light on it. However there is a new variant supporting boarding craft equipment mounted under the belly of the dropship. It is only seen in 1 instance on the level [[Dawn]].
*In Halo 4, there are absolutely no instances of enemies being dropped via the gravity lift on the bottom of the dropship, whereas Halo: Reach had a couple rare instances of this.
*Like many explosions in Halo 4, the Phantom's destruction is very lackluster, only showing a small red-blue explosion and a few pieces of the Phantom falling to the ground.
