The Blackjack was born from a Star League mandate in 2757 for the creation of a new BattleMech "with insurgency suppression and fire-support capabilities." Despite fulfilling its production requirements and performing well in initial tests, the Blackjack unfairly developed a bad reputation and was all but rejected by the Star League. While its original design suits the Blackjack for engagement against lighter opponents, its range and sustained fire capability can make it a highly effective threat in the right hands.

Receiving wide acclaim during the defense of Xhosa VII, Micheal Ubodo and his Blackjack, 'The Arrow', earned a permanent commission with the Federated Sun's 8th Light Calvary. An outspoken defender of the poorly regarded Blackjack, Ubodo would often challenge anyone who criticized the much maligned design.
