This missile-equipped jetfighter is the Taerkasten's most highly evolved weapon. In its own way, the Phantom is at technological parity with the multirole attack jets of the other terran factions, although in typical Taerkasten fashion it is heavily armored. The armor, combined with the Phantom's exceptional firepower, creates a tenacious dogfighter in the air. The Phantom is first deployed near the end of the campaign.
