| − | ==Description==
| |
| − | Initially designed by [[Clan Snow Raven]] engineers as a breakthrough in [[BattleMech]] design philosophies, the ''Deimos'' takes its name from the project of the same name which resulted in the first faster-than-light (FTL) drive. To provide ample protection, the ''Deimos'' is built upon a space-saving Standard internal structure with fifteen and a half tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor. At its heart, a massive 350 XL engine allows for a top speed of just over 70 km/h, making the 'mech both one of fastest and most well-armored for its weight. Additionally, while not present on the chassis, the ''Deimos'' allows for the installation of [[Jump Jets]] as well as an [[Active Probe]] for long-range configurations.

| − | While heralded at first as a modern marvel, a critical design flaw within the ''Deimos'' internal structure cropped up during production; this would severely limit the size of weaponry that could be installed, hurting its potential.

| − | ==Armament==
| |
| − | Intended as a flexible direct-fire support 'Mech, the standard ''Deimos'' configuration features six [[Ultra AC/2]]s as its primary armament, backed by twin [[LRM-15]] launchers, allowing the 'Mech to bring most of its weapons to bear at long range. Two [[ER Medium Laser]]s provide close-range support, and additionally ensure the pilot has something to fire in the event of ammunition shortage. A [[Laser Anti-Missile System]] rounds the 'Mech out, providing defense against incoming missiles.

| − | ==Variants==
| |
| − | As a fairly recent addition to [[Clan Snow Raven]]'s armory, the ''Deimos'' has not had much time to be experimented with. Rumors suggest minor modifications to the chassis to allow for [[Targeting Computer]]s and more advanced sensor equipment, although any indications remain to be seen.
