== 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+"/> 

When it first appeared in the Inner Sphere, the ''Deimos'' was considered the pride of the Clan and at least one was assigned to every cluster within the [[Clan Snow Raven Touman|Snow Raven ''touman'']].<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 both arms and the right side torso.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp54+"/>

== Alternate Configurations ==
*; Alternate Configuration A : This configuration is geared towards general combat. It features a pair of [[ER PPC]]s and [[Medium Pulse Lasers]] - one of each mounted in each side torso - along with an [[LB 10-X AC|LB 10-X Autocannon]] in each arm. The Autocannons are each fed by two tons of both slug- and cluster-type ammunition, which have been split between the ''Deimos'' A's arms. An [[ECM suite]] and two extra double heat sinks complete the package.<ref name=TRJp32f /> BV(2.0)=2,785<ref name=TRJp32f /><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/853/deimos-a/ MUL online entry for the Deimos A Configuration]''</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration B : The B configuration carries four [[LRM-10|10-Tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers]] split between its two side torsos, while each arm mounts an ER PPC and a [[Large Pulse Laser]]. The 'Mech's six tons of LRM ammunition is split evenly among storage bins found in each arm. This configuration also features an [[ECM Suite]] and two additional Double Heat Sinks.<ref name=TRJp32f /> BV(2.0)=2,965<ref name=TRJp32f /><ref name="MUL3">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/854/deimos-b/ MUL online entry for the Deimos B Configuration]''</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration C : Introduced in [[Introduction Year::3086]]<ref name="MUL4"/>, the C configuration's main firepower comes from its pair of [[Ultra AC-10|Class 10 Ultra Autocannons]] and [[ER Large Laser]]s. 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. The 'Mech's tactical capabilities are expanded thanks to the inclusion of an ECM Suite in the center torso, along with the four [[Improved Jump Jets]] split between the side torsos.<ref name=TRJp32f /> BV(2.0)=2,737<ref name=TRJp32f /><ref name="MUL4">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/855/deimos-c/ MUL online entry for the Deimos C Configuration]''</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration D : The D configuration was introduced during the [[Dark Age era]] in [[Introduction Year::3119]]<ref name="MUL5"/>. It carries two [[Streak LRM-20]]s, two [[Rotary AC/2]]s, and two ER Medium Lasers. The single anti-missile system was retained. BV (2.0) = 2,682<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 169</ref><ref name="MUL5">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/6856/deimos-d/ MUL online entry for the Deimos D Configuration]''</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration E : The E configuration was also introduced during the Dark Age in [[Introduction Year::3140]]<ref name="MUL6"/>. It carries a [[Targeting Computer]] to control two ER Medium Lasers, two Large Pulse Lasers, an ER PPC, and ER Large Laser. Four [[Streak SRM-4]]s are also carried. The ''Deimos'' E can also reach speeds nearing 86 km/h by using an engine [[Supercharger]] and the MASC system. It retains the AMS as well. Finally it mounts a [[Radical Heat Sink System]] to augment the sixteen double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 3,620<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 170</ref><ref name="MUL6">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/6855/deimos-e/ MUL online entry for the Deimos E Configuration]''</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration H : The H carries the requisite Heavy Large Laser in a torso mount. The arms each have a Gauss rifle and ER large laser. Jump jets improve mobility.<ref name=TRJp32f /> BV (2.0) = 3,344<ref name=TRJp32f />

*; Alternate Configuration S : The S Configuration is specifically designed to meet the Ravens' need for a space-based 'Mech developed in [[Introduction Year::3086]]<ref name="MUL7"/>. The S configuration is almost identical to the "C" configuration with the exception of the ECM suite, which is now replaced with a [[Liquid Tank]]. The tank serves as an internal fuel tank.<ref name=TRJp32f /> BV(2.0)=2,664<ref name=TRJp32f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 257</ref><ref name="MUL7">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/857/deimos-s/ MUL online entry for the Deimos S Configuration]''</ref>

== 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 engine|XL Fusion]], while only carrying ten double heat sinks. Its MASC equipment allows the design to move at speeds reaching 86 km/h.<ref name=TRJp32f /> BV(2.0)= 2,394<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 258</ref><br />(Notably, this variant is very similar to the original ''Deimos'' from the fan-made [[MekPak 2]]; however, the [[MekTek]] version as such remains entirely noncanonical.)

==Design Quirks==
The ''Deimos'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 90: BattleMech Quirk Table - Deimos Entry</ref>

==Notes==
* The ''Deimos'' was originally conceived by the [[BattleTech]] software fansite Mektek.net, though the MekTek version is slightly different (see above).
