==Description==
 
==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. After the introduction of the ''[[Wulfen]]'', production of the ''Phantom'' was put on the backburner until Clan Wolf sold the plans to the [[Clan Sea Fox]] ilKhanate to bolster the numbers of BattleMechs in their inventory. Clan Sea Fox retooled a line building ''[[Bloodhound]]'' for this job, and began providing the OmniMech to any interested party for a price, of course.

The '''''Phantom''''' was pushed into production by [[Khan]] [[Phelan Ward]] immediately prior to the [[Refusal War]] between [[Clan Wolf]] and [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. The [['Mech]] is designed around Khan Ward's extensive experience with [[Inner Sphere]] tactics. The ''Phantom'' is intended to push a medium recon 'Mech to its 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 Engine]]. The ''Phantom'' has good protection for its size with six tons of Composite A-2 [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor.

==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 one hundred and eighty meters. The ''Phantom'' prime is capable of spotting for friendly [[Arrow IV]] artillery with a [[Target Acquisition Gear|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.
