==Description==
The '''''Deimos''''' is a Clan Assault [[OmniMech]], which was developed by [[Clan Snow Raven]]. The 'Mech was first introduced during the middle of the 3060s, allegedly on the [[Kerensky Cluster]] world of [[Lum]]. However, [[Inner Sphere]] intelligence agencies stopped hearing rumors about the 'Mech during the [[Jihad]] and it faded from memory. In [[3085]], the Snow Ravens revealed the existence of the ''Deimos'' to the Inner Sphere. It was produced on the Clan's Inner Sphere world, [[Dante (system)|Dante]].<ref name="TRO:3085Sp54+">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', pp. 54–55: "Deimos"</ref>

The 85-tonner is powered by a Type 255-rated [[extralight fusion engine]], which it shares with the second-line Assault 'Mech, the ''[[Omen]]''. Fourteen [[Double Heat Sinks]] are fitted to mitigate any heat issues that the 'Mech's systems may generate.  Because its top speed is slower than more typical OmniMechs of the same size, engineers installed a [[MASC]] system, which allows the ''Deimos'' to go marginally faster and keep up with comparable older designs. The 'Mech is protected by 14.5 tons of [[standard armor]], where it again differs from more typical contemporaries.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp54+"/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Aside from its 43-ton equipment capacity, the 'Mech has a few permanently mounted weapons. These include two [[ER Medium Lasers]], one assigned to each of the 'Mech's side torsos. To provide protection from inbound missile fire, an [[anti-missile system]] was mounted in the ''Deimos''' head. The single ton of ammunition for the AMS is located in the center torso.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp54+"/>

The Primary Configuration is geared toward an anti-air role, with both of the OmniMech's arms housing three [[Ultra AC-2|Class 2 Ultra Autocannons]] and a pair of side torso-mounted [[LRM-15|15-tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers]]. Both weapons systems are provided with three tons of ammunition, with the LRM ammunition stored in the side torsos and the AC rounds split between the arms and right side torso.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp54+"/>

The 'Mech's six tons of LRM ammunition is split evenly among storage bins found in each arm.

A pair of [[Small Pulse Laser]]s is fitted to help deal with possible infantry threats to the 'Mech. All of these weapons are split between the 'Mech's two pod locations in the arms.

==Variants==

*;''Deimos'' 2 : A Non-Omni variant of the ''Deimos'', this design features mainly [[Experimental Technology|Experimental]] equipment. This variant was speculated by [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] intelligence as being based on the original prototype of the ''Deimos''. The 'Mech features the same weapons layout (including the Omni design's permanently mounted weapons) as the Primary Configuration. The ''Deimos''' head-mounted AMS system is exchanged for an experimental [[Laser AMS|Laser version]]. The 'Mech's armor capacity has been reduced to 13 tons, and uses [[Ferro-Fibrous]] instead of standard armor. Its engine is upgraded to a 340-rated XL Fusion, while only equipping ten double heat sinks. Its MASC equipment allows the design to move at speeds reaching 86 kph.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 54 - Variants.</ref> BV(2.0)= 2,394<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 258</ref>

*;''Deimos'' (MekTek) : The original [[MekTek]] version of the ''Deimos'' had the same weapon layout with the exception of a Laser Anti-Missile System replacing the AMS. The 'Mech has 15.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor and is built on a standard chassis. It's engine has been changed to a [[XL engine|350 XL]] which gives the 'Mech a top speed of 70.01 kph; in addition, the MASC has been removed. Lastly, the chassis allows for the installation of an [[Active Probe]].<ref>''MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries'' - MekTek Mod</ref>
