The Z-1800 Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter,[1] alternatively known as Phaeton, is a class of weapon-ship and a Promethean VTOL[2] gunship. These craft were encountered by UNSC forces in several engagements following the Requiem Campaign.[3][4]
Design details
Controlled by a single pilot, the Phaeton has a teleport ability that allows the aircraft to move short distances rapidly in any direction.[5] The Phaeton is armed with a chin-mounted dual set of directed-energy weapons along with missile launcher-like weapons on both sides of the fuselage.[5]
Trivia
- In Greek mythology, Phaeton was the son of the god Apollo.
- The Phaeton's tactical use can be considered analogous to the UNSC's AV-14 Hornet.
