The Phantom gunboat is similar in design to the standard Type-52 Troop Carrier. However, the gunboat is used exclusively as a space combat craft rather than as a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted [[heavy plasma cannon]], four side-mounted [[plasma turret]]s, (two on either side), and one aft plasma turret. These weapons fire plasma torpedoes; they are essentially a scaled-down version of the weapon mounted on most Covenant warships. The gunboat is capable of emitting a powerful [[Energy shielding#Covenant energy shielding|energy shield]] that can deflect missile attacks.<ref name="LNoS"/>

It is equipped with a chin-mounted [[heavy plasma cannon]], four side-mounted, smaller heavy plasma cannons, (two on either side), and one aft plasma cannon. These weapons fire large plasma rounds similar to those of the normal "concussion" heavy plasma cannon.
