The Phantom Titan is an Eldar Titan that is set apart from those of other races not just by its agility and advanced technology, but also by its crew. Like all Eldar Titans, the Phantom's crew is raised with the Titan from birth and is bolstered by the souls of dead Eldar warriors whose Soul Stones are housed within the machine's Wraithbone structure.[1] Noted for being tall, slender and elegant; they are known to be the largest type of Eldar Titan. Their speed and swift nature make them much more agile compared to the lumbering hulks of the Legio Titanicus as well as armed with some of the most deadly weapons of the Eldar. Phantoms are the height of Eldar warcraft as each is linked to a Wraithbone core that contains the living spirit of its previous pilots.[3]
Unlike lesser Titans, the crew of a Phantom is distinct in that it is based around a set of twins or triplets, something which is extremely rare among the Eldar. The natural emotional bonds between such sets of siblings, when combined with the Eldar race's natural latent psychic ability and the souls stored within the Titan lead to a level of control unheard of even within other Eldar Titans.[2] However, other instances indicate that a single crewman operates the Phantom and holds the position of Steersman who are Exarchs that are dedicated to this aspect of warfare. These Steersman are locked in a trance-like state where their consciousness merges with the spirit-sentience of their Titan allowing them to become a mighty war machine which reach and move with terrifying speed.[3]
Phantom Titans are typically armed with enormous Titan-sized Pulsars, Distortion Cannons, or Power Glaives.[4]
