Description[edit]
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 LAMs they recovered is unknown.[1]
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 LAMs were mistaken for Phoenix Hawk LAMs.
The last major operation involving the design seems to have been a fight against pirates on Outpost in 3033. By then, the Munin LAMs 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.[2]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The basic version is armed with a Magna Mk III large laser, two Magna Mk II medium lasers and a Magna Mk I small laser, with 15 single heat sinks.
Variants[edit]
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[edit]
- 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.
