================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Phobos is a modern Clan Stone Lion protomech.  Nearly as large as a light mech, the
    'mech is still a cost effective alternative to said light mech.  In addition the Clan's
    ritualistic trial system still counts a group of 5 protomechs as a single point, a fact that
    can throw off an opponents bidding estimates wildly.

Capabilities:
    The design constraints for the Phobos called for a unit that was fast enough to out manuever
    battleline and Cav forces while retaining as much capacity as possible for weapons and
    armor.
    
    The Phobos 4 is a bit light in the armor department but makes up for it with a missile punch
    that can only be compared to the much older Medusa or the more current Sprite.   Technically
    the Sprite has better throw weight, but the difference is minor and the Phobos compensates
    for it with better mobility in all but the densest of terrain.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Picking names from mythology is hard.  Mythologically speaking Phobos is both the God of
    fear, who uses a Lion motif.  It's also the name of one of Ares' fire breathing horses.
    Given the Lion on one hand and the horse on the other, Phobos is an excellent name for Clan
    Stone Lion's creation.
