The Minerva amply proved its worthiness in the expert mech lineup of the Larkinson Clan!

This was the ultimate dream of every mech designer. Those who chose this vocation usually did so because they wanted to serve mech pilots to the best of their abilities.
One of the greatest ideals in mech design was to design a machine that could draw out all of the untapped potential of a mech pilot.
