One of the first [[Primitive Technology|primitive]] [[BattleMech]]s produced by the [[Free Worlds League]], the '''''Sarissa''''' (named for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarissa Greek spear] from ancient [[Terra]]) is one of many centuries-old [[Age of War]] designs reborn during the desperation of the [[Jihad]].
  
A contemporary of the [[Icarus II|''Icarus'']] and ''[[Mackie]]'', the original MN1-K ''Sarissa'', designed sometime shortly after [[Introduction Year::2470]], was intended as a stopgap that could be readily manufactured in civilian  [[IndustrialMech]] facilities to bolster the League's member state militias in the face of [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Capellan Confederation]] newborn BattleMech forces. This philosophy would also make the ''Sarissa'' very appealing in [[Reintroduction Year::3080]] as the [[Principality of Regulus]] suffered increasing losses during the [[Word of Blake]] Jihad, favoring even a primitive BattleMech over even more simple to build [[combat vehicle]]s for propaganda purposes.<ref name=XTROM-8/>

==Weapons and Equipment==

Built using a [[Primitive Cockpit]], a primitive 240 rated Fusion Engine can only propel the design an average speed of 40 km/h, topping out in the 60 km/h range. The design's main failing on the modern battlefield is its use of near-commercial grade armor, a mere ten tons of [[Primitive Armor]] offering lackluster protection at best.
The ''Sarissa'' is built on a [[Primitive Technology|primitive chassis]], powered by a 240-rated [[primitive engine]] that is able to propel it at a max speed of 64.8 km/h. The design's main failing on the modern battlefield is its use of near-commercial grade armor, a mere 10 tons of [[primitive armor]] offering lackluster protection at best.

Originally carrying a fairly simple weapons array, the Regulans' modern MN1-D model mounts a weapon loadout intended to handle a range of threats. Replacing the MN1-K's standard weaponry with a [[binary laser cannon]] gives the design significant punch for its size, supported by standard [[medium laser]]. To combat civil disorder, a [[machine gun]] with half a ton of ammunition is mounted alongside a [[small laser]] in the 'Mech's center torso. <ref name=XTROM-8/>

*; MN2-A : This is an updated version of the MN1-K that has been rebuilt using an [[IndustrialMech]] production line. It keeps the same weapons configuration as the MN1-D but replaces the [[Primitive Technology|primitive engine, primitive armor, and primitive cockpit]] with more modern upgrades. It's protected by [[heavy industrial armor]], adds an ejection seat so the pilot can escape, increases the amount of [[single heat sink]]s to 18, and upgrades the engine to a [[GM 200]] [[fusion engine]].
