While commissioned and produced by the Lyran Commonwealth starting in 3023, the Hatchetman design is rumored to have come from Team Banzai working at the NAIS in the Federated Suns. It's the first new 'Mech chassis seen in over a century, and the first to make use of a melee weapon: its namesake hatchet. The Hatchetman's current deployment in city garrisons has been a success, and has seen many enemies succumb to point blank ambushes of AC/10 fire and hatchet swings. This has led to plans for a greater deployment of the design, as well as rumors that the Federated Suns may be receiving shipments of the 'Mech in the future.

The Hatchetman that would be known as 'Man-at-Arms' began life as one of the models the Lyran Commonwealth sent to the Federated Sun prior to the Fourth Succession War. It initially served with the Second NAIS Cadet Cadre where it received a number of refits and experimental equipment, including the newly rediscovered LB 10-X Autocannon. In 3038 it was transferred to Federated Suns' unit McKinnon's Company, 'The Fox's Teeth', and was assigned to veteran MechWarrior Austin Vorster. This was a substantial upgrade to the old STG-3R Stinger he had inherited from his late father.
