Description
The Phantom was pushed into production by Khan Phelan Ward shortly before the Refusal War between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon, designed around Khan Ward's extensive experience with Inner Sphere tactics. After the Wars of Reaving, the Phantom replaced the Fire Moth OmniMech for the remaining Home Clans because of its similar role and heavier profile.
Weapons and Equipment
Intended to push a medium reconnaissance 'Mech to the most extreme limits, the Phantom is built on a lightweight Type-A endo steel chassis and is propelled to a top speed of 151.2 km/h by a Light Force 360 XL extralight engine. The Phantom also boasts strong protection for its size with six tons of Composite A-2 ferro-fibrous armor.
In its Primary configuration the Phantom is an electronics marvel. To root out hidden units, the Phantom carries an active probe which is able to find hidden enemy units at up to 180 meters. The Phantom prime is capable of spotting for friendly Arrow IV artillery with a TAG laser designator and, for protection from enemy electronic warfare systems, the 'Mech has an ECM suite. To engage its enemies at long range, the Phantom has an LRM-5 launcher backed up by an ER medium laser and an ER small laser for close combat.
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A
- Capable of working as a long-range fire support 'Mech or very short-range brawler, the Phantom A is armed with a pair of LRM-5 launchers for long-range fire support capabilities. For close range combat, the 'Mech has five ER small lasers, one firing to the rear, and a single ER medium laser, making it a powerful medium 'Mech at any range.[1] BV (1.0) = 1,304[3], BV (2.0) = 1,410[1][5]
- Alternate Configuration B
- A dedicated close combat machine, the B configuration carries two SRM-4 launchers as its primary short range weapons. These are supported by an ER medium laser and a rear-mounted ER small laser. Additionally, an active probe protects the 'Mech from ambush.[1] BV (1.0) = 966[3], BV (2.0) = 1,096[1][6]
- Alternate Configuration C
- Another close-combat configuration, the Phantom C carries eight ER small lasers and a single ER medium laser, all of which are linked to an advanced targeting computer for increased accuracy. The 'Mech also has a flamer, which it can use for anti-infantry purposes.[1] BV (1.0) = 1,413[3], BV (2.0) = 1,590[1][7]
- Alternate Configuration D
- The D configuration is something of a compromise between the B and C configurations. The 'Mech carries three ER medium lasers and an ER small laser for a powerful-short range punch. These are backed up by a highly accurate Streak SRM-4 launcher.[1] BV (1.0) = 1,443[3], BV (2.0) = 1,581[1][8]
- Alternate Configuration F
- The F configuration carries an ER medium laser in each side torso, supported by a heavy medium laser in the right arm. Anti-infantry support comes from a heavy flamer in the left arm, while an ECM suite in the center torso jams enemy sensors. BV (1.0) = ??? BV (2.0) = 1375[11]
- Alternate Configuration H
- A very powerful close combat configuration, the H carries six heavy small lasers and a medium pulse laser, which are all linked to a targeting computer for increased accuracy. The 'Mech also has a flamer for anti-infantry work.[1] BV (1.0) = 967[3][12], BV (2.0) = 1,178[1][13]
