The Type-57 Dropship Troop Carrier (T-57 DTC),[1] colloquially known as the Phantom by UNSC forces, is a dropship in service with various Covenant remnant factions.[2]
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.[2] The T-57 is easy to manufacture and maintain without access to high-tier fabrication facilities, at the sacrifice of exoatmospheric performance.[1]
Operational history
The Type-57 DTC was put into service after the end of the Human-Covenant War due to dwindling numbers of Type-44 and Type-52 Phantoms.[1] 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 Blooding Years.[2]
