The Type-44 Troop Carrier, also known as the Phantom, is an earlier ship in the same family as the Type-52 Phantom. It saw more extensive use at the hands of the Covenant Remnant after 2553 than it did prior. This is presumably because of the ubiquity of the Spirit before 2552.

Differing little from its successor, the Type-52 Phantom, the Type-44 serves as the equivalent to the Pelican drop ships used by the UNSC in terms of both function and performance, serving as a troop transport and as a supporting gunship.

Like the Type-52 Phantom, the Type-44 Phantom is armed with single chin-mounted Heavy Plasma cannon with two plasma cannons. In addition to carrying multiple infantry, the Type-44 Phantom is also capable of carrying up to two Ghosts or one Wraith tank, just like the Type-52 Phantom.

The role of the Phantom is to transport Covenant troops and vehicles into a combat zone with speed and efficiency while providing covering fire for disembarking units.

The Phantom Gunboat is a variant of the Type-52 troop carrier.

The Phantom Gunboat is similar in to the Type-52; the Gunboat however is designed more as a combat superiority craft, than a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted heavy Plasma Cannon and 4 side-mounted plasma auto-turrets, two on either side and one ventral plasma auto-turret.

The Phantom Gunboat has additional structures compared to the regular Phantom, which include two additional side tails located above and forward of the regular ones which are connected to an extra pair of engines, and a curved bar extending from the tops of its "wings". It also has extra machinery attached to the top of said "wings".
