Its silhouette is not unlike the ancient ''[[Hammerhands]]'' designs, with barrel-like arms with heavy ballistic weaponry. The ''Minsk'' first gained renown in a [[Trial of Grievance]] in [[2835]] between [[Star Captain]] Jonas and Star Captain Halton of the [[Turkina Keshik]]. Observed by several [[Khan]]s, the ''Minsk'' quickly disabled the Falcon warrior's ''[[Atlas II]]''. Possibly its best known use was during the Ghost Bears' assault to claim the [[Tokasha MechWorks Alpha]] factory in [[2921]].<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', pp. 1, 6, 12-19, 39</ref> Despite its abilities it fell out of favor with the Clans as they represented a role that few Clan warriors wanted to play: Bodyguard. The opportunities for personal advancement and glory are limited for bodyguards, and so the Ghost Bears retired the design. The ''Minsk'' would remain out of service until [[3149]] when officers in [[Taiga Galaxy]] needed a support unit for their Assault Stars and created the ''Minsk 2''.<ref name=trogc32/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The heavy 'Mech was built with a mix of newly developed Clan technologies as well as some leftover equipment from the Star League Defense Force era. The main long-range firepower comes from a [[Gauss rifle]] mounted in each arm and a single [[LRM-10]] in the left torso. When enemies close the range they face the additional firepower in each side torso: A cluster of weapons consisting of an [[SRM-6]], a [[Small Pulse Laser]], and a [[Machine Gun]]. Ammunition is available in plenty, with three tons of Gauss ammo, two tons of SRM ammo, a ton of LRM ammo, and a ton of ammunition for the Machine Guns. All explosive ammunition and weaponry is protected by Clan-spec [[CASE]]. The ''Minsk'' also is fitted with an antique [[Beagle Active Probe]], allowing it to find hidden units and threats.<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p. 39</ref><ref name=trogc107>''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 107</ref> ==Variants== *;''Minsk'' : A later revision of the MNK-101 trades the Beagle Active Probe for a Clan equivalent model and reduces the machine gun ammunition to half a ton.
