Objection: Encyclopedic Source?Edit
I just looked at the Halo Encyclopedia on page 268, and I saw no mention of the Phantom Gunboat whatsoever anywhere on the either of the pages (268-269). Since I can find no evidence, I'm requesting verification of this so-called source. Xamikaze330 20:25, 24 August 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
