==Overview:==
The Phantom dates back to the Age of War.
As hostilities sprung up all around human space the now extinct PanGalactic
Aviation Company introduced a cheap and reliable athmospheric fighter based on
an ancient design of the 20th century. As most planetary militias now had an
opportunity to get their hands on a low cost interceptor orders to PGA
skyrocketed. To keep up with that demand PGA-officials decided to make easy
money without too much invest and gave production licenses to almost every
company that ask for it. So that design was common all over the Inner Sphere
and even the periphery soon.
As in times of the Star League technology reached levels unknown before orders
for the conventional fighter plummeted!
Due to bad management PGA went bancrupt as the license money disappeared in
dark channels and ill-fated stocks! The Phantom almost disappeared from the
hightech battlefields.
But as technology levels plunged during the Succession Wars several former
licensed companies dig out the old design specs and resumed production at the
beginning of the 3rd Succession War.


==Capabilities:==
This rugged and reliable fighter carries a type 5 autocannon under its nose
that gives it good firepower at a long range.
Up close it can bring its SRM launchers to bear for a deadly volley.
For bombing or long range missions the Phantom can carry up to 8 tons of bombs
or fueltanks on 6 pylons under its wings and another two under its belly. On
most missions this load is lowered to 5 tons because of the severe degradation
in acceleration and handling!
Because it is produced in all succession states and the bigger periphery
nations the Phantom comes with a broad variation of weapon models and comm /
targeting equipment.

==Variants:==
As so many aircraft companies involved in its production there are quite a lot
of variants.
The armor is rather thin and the fueltanks mean a quite respectable range so
most variants tinker with the weapon loadout:
A LRM-15 with 16 reloads replacing the AC/5; 
dropping all weapons for an AC/2 with 45 shots and two SRM-6  with 15
reloads;
replacing the SRM-4´s for LRM-5´s;
and a whole bunch of modification mostly from independent periphery systems.



==Deployment==
The Phantom can be found all over the Inner Sphere and the periphery (mostly
in planetary militias) and even in the airforces of lesser periphery nations.
