The Xiphos is a Landing Craft, which can serve as an alternative transportation choice to the Liset. It comes with the Sentry Gun air support ability, deploying an automatic turret, resembling a Senta Turret, which will fire upon nearby visible enemies.
The Xiphos landed in Update 18.5 (2016-03-04).
Building the Xiphos requires the Landing Craft Foundry Segment.

Acquisition
A fully built Xiphos can be purchased on the Market for 150. Alternatively all component blueprints can be obtained with a very low probability by opening all 3 Resource Caches in some Sabotage or Exterminate missions, while the main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. All component blueprints are tradeable between players (as of Update 18.9 (2016-04-20)).

All drop rates data is obtained from DE's official drop tables.
See Mission Rewards#Standard Missions for definitions on reward table rotations.
Drop chances are rounded to two decimal places, following the official drop tables repository.
Expected means a player can expect to obtain at least one of a drop every N attempts on average.
Nearly Guaranteed refers to the total number of attempts a player needs to obtain
a 1 in 10^2,3, and 4 probability not to have recieved a single drop (99%, 99.9%, and 99.99% probability to have received at least one drop).
The combined probability of multiple drops is 1 - ((1-A%) * (1-B%) * ...) (add drops in same rotation)

220Turret[]
- Multiple turrets can be deployed in a single mission, limited only by the 10-minute cooldown time between uses.
- The turret has its own shields and health, and will spawn at a set level (Level 30).
- Health does not regenerate on its own, but shields will recharge.
- Health can be regenerated by players with
Rejuvenation, although even at level 30, the turret does not possess very much health. - Shield Osprey Specters can give the turret bonus shield as well as increased shield recharge, although the Osprey will not stick to the turret. Ordering the Osprey to stay nearby is the only way to make it stick. This adds secondary fire as well, from the Osprey.
- Keep in mind that enemies will target the Shield Osprey Specter as it has a higher threat level, and AoE attacks and grenades will most likely damage the turret as enemies focus their fire on the Osprey. Placing the turret in full view of enemies but having the Osprey hidden behind a wall is usually the best tactical choice.
- The turret fires puncture-based blue energy pulses at a high fire rate at enemies. These projectiles spread out considerably at range and take time to reach their target.
- The turret's projectiles also have a knockdown effect.
- The turret cannot be replaced, moved, or disabled besides being destroyed.
- The turret has a low or normal threat level, and as such, enemies will prefer to target objectives or things with a high threat level unless the turret is nearest to them.
- Turrets are solid objects players cannot pass through, you can however stand on them.
- Turrets can be built on top of existing turrets creating turret towers.
Trivia[]
- A Xiphos is a double-edged, one-handed shortsword used by the ancient Greeks. This follows the Scimitar's name also being derived from a type of sword.
- In the game files, the Xiphos is known as "Gyroscope Ship," possibly due to the ship's construction having a passing resemblance to a gimbal.
- The turret is Corpus technology, indicated by the Corpus text and manufacturing logo on the front plate of the turret. This implies that the Tenno either steal and re-purpose or outright purchase these turrets from the Corpus themselves.
- Alternatively, it could just be a placeholder model.
