The Z-1800 Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter, also known as the Phaeton,[2] is a Forerunner gunship operated by Prometheans.[3]

Specifications[]

The Phaeton is a Forerunner Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) gunship. It has a "boost" ability which lets it move rapidly from side to side or forward and backward.[4] The gunship is armed with both a Hard light turret underneath and twin missile launchers mounted under each wing that can fire 4 missiles at a time.[5]

Operational History[]

In 2558, the Z-1800 Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter can be first seen combating Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction when Fireteam Osiris was deployed to Kamchatka. The fighters were combating the advancing Covenant troops who were trying to breach the Promethean defense lines, and succeeded in defeating Mdama's forces.[6]
