	An advanced troop transport employing phase stealth technology, this design was put to effective use by Tri-Tachyon black ops during the Second AI War. The Phantom should avoid ship-to-ship combat as integrated armor and weaponry are only rated effective versus light ground targets. "The system patrols should have seen the Tachies coming, but didn't. ADA was tracking the bogey right up until it disappeared off the scope, leaving the ground guns spinning in circles trying to reacquire a target. We saw a shadow in the air, like dark wings falling on the compound. Don't remember much else. Suit rec says incoming fire already took the rest of the squad." - The Fall of Bunker 58
–In-game description

A specialized Destroyer-class phase transport, the Phantom features no weaponry, but is equipped with the Advanced Ground Support hullmod, making it exceptionally well-suited for raiding.

Overview

The best ship in-game for raiding purposes, the Phantom's Advanced Ground Support hullmod allows for upwards to 200 marines to do fight at twice their strength during raids. As a result, the ship is completely defenseless baring its Phase Cloak.

Interestingly enough, even though the Phantom does not contain a Civilian-grade Hull ship, it does benefit from the Bulk Transport Industry Skill, gaining +2 base Burn bonus.

Acquisition

The Phantom is available for purchase at Tri-Tachyon military markets with a commission, and is sometimes found as a derelict.
