One of the smallest classes of [[weapon-ship]], the Phaeton was employed by the Forerunners in the billions during the [[Forerunner-Flood War|war]] against the [[Flood]]. A single Forerunner [[Warrior-Servant]] could command thousands of Phaetons and support vessels, trusting in their [[Promethean Soldier|Soldier]] pilots to self-organize into tactical phalanxes that could be thrown against the trillions of Flood combat forms and their vast fleets of corrupted Forerunner ships. Few survived to see the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], though their remains form debris rings around shattered worlds and dead fleets throughout the galaxy.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
Most [[Guardian]]s were assigned a modest wing of Phaetons to carry out their duties. These vessels were supplemented by newly grown craft in October [[2558]]. [[Cortana]]'s [[Promethean]]s used several Phaetons during the battles of [[Battle of Kamchatka|Kamchatka]], [[Battle of Meridian (2558)|Meridian]], [[Battle of Genesis|Genesis]], and [[Battle of Nuusra|Nuusra]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | Most [[Guardian]]s were assigned a modest wing of Phaetons to carry out their duties.
