Phantom Energy seems to weaken or cease the exchange of gluons in between quarks, thus causing the quarks to fall apart and collapse the atomic nuclei, practically destroying the atom. Phantom Energy also works on biomatter, although it takes harder work to weaken biological bonds and components which keep biomatter intact. It approximately takes 3 locazlied burst of phantom energy to rupture and breach hull plating. Making it a highly effective weapon against all enemies, metallic or biological.
