==Description==
This apparent precursor to the ''[[Phoenix Hawk LAM]]'' may have had a different name originally, but in any case became known as the '''''Munin LAM'''''. The only samples known to exist were those recovered from a cache by the [[Tyr Resistance Movement]] shortly before the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The number of ''Munin LAM''s they recovered is unknown.<ref>''BattleTechnology'', issue #10</ref>

The Tyr underground movement used these LAMs for operations throughout the [[Rasalhague Military District]]. Sightings were reported by both [[House Kurita]] and [[House Steiner]], but apparently the ''Munin LAM''s were mistaken for ''Phoenix Hawk LAM''s.

The last major operation involving the design seems to have been a fight against pirates on [[Outpost]] in [[3033]]. By then, the ''Munin LAM''s were operating as part of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]'s [[KungsArmé]]. Reportedly, out of four LAMs in the battle only one remained operable, and its pilot subsequently became an academy trainer.<ref>''BattleTechnology'', issue #10, p. 52: scenario "Memory's Surprises"</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The basic version is armed with a [[Magna Mk III]] [[large laser]], two [[Medium laser#Magna Mk II|Magna Mk II]] [[medium laser]]s and a [[Magna Mk I]] [[small laser]], with 15 [[Heat Sink|single heat sinks]].
+
The basic version is armed with a Magna Mk. I [[large laser]], two Magna Mk. II [[medium laser]]s and a Magna Mk. III [[small laser]], with fifteen [[heat sink]]s. Variants have exchanged the Mk. I or Mk. II lasers and heat sinks for missile launchers; see below.
  
 
==Variants==
 
==Variants==
Several variants have been reported, though it remains unclear if these are true production variants or mere field refits. One exchanges the medium lasers and three single heat sinks for an [[SRM-6]]. Another variant exchanges the large laser and one single heat sink for an [[LRM-10]] launcher.

==Canonicity==
 
* This unit is described only in ''[[BattleTechnology]]'' magazine, which is not counted among canonical sources anymore. Consequently, the ''Munin LAM'' does not meet the current criteria for [[canon]] and is considered [[apocryphal]].
