The Type-57 Dropship Troop Carrier (T-57 DTC), colloquially known as the Phantom by UNSC forces, is a dropship in service with various Covenant remnant factions.[1]

Specifications

Design details

Whereas Phantom models produced under the Covenant's reign had to comply with San'Shyuum architectural strictures, the Type-57 sports a traditional Sangheili design. Its appearance is inspired by aquatic predators found on Sangheili colonies. The new Phantom is one of several post-Covenant Sangheili-designed vehicles to bear this design philosophy, an aesthetic which the San'Shyuum found inelegant.[1]

Operational history

The Type-57 DTC was put into service after the end of the Human-Covenant War. Various factions (most notably Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and the Swords of Sanghelios) called upon allied colonies and renovated long-abandoned manufacturing facilities to produce the dropship, along with other war matériel. The Type-57 was used in multiple battles, including the Battle of Kamchatka and various engagements in the Sangheili civil war.[1]
