The first prototype of the STK-54, the ETK-213, chambered in the standard 6.5x42mm M42 cartridge, was designed in 1949 as a response to the growing number of designs capable of fully automatic firing by Mirhaimian small arms designer Kilian Mainne Domman nar Giker'ha, the designer of the semi automatic TK-38 in service with the Mirhaimian Realm Defence Forces. Domman stated that the Volkian AR series, notably its distinctive gas-operated mechanisms, had a significant influence on the STK-54's design.
