[[House Cameron]] knew full well that the [[Star League]] was the central power in the [[Inner Sphere]] and that each of the member states had their own personal agendas.  So in order to ensure that the peace lasted, surveillance craft were needed.  It would be nearly impossible to have a [[WarShip]] stationed within the territorial borders of a state without sparking an interstellar scandal; The Star League would need a specialty craft that could hide in plain sight, while supplying needed information.

The ''Pueblo'' was born when modified civilian ships were able to obtain intelligence, but unable to defend themselves when the need arose.  The SLDF could deploy the [[Bug-Eye]] to meet the role, but its astronomical price tag, still being undergunned, and containing highly classified technology made it not the best choice either.  What was created, was designated the ''Pueblo'', which shared the same internal characteristics as other [[DropShips]] designed for surveillance and had different exteriors to look like a common civilian craft.<ref name=HLoTV2p146>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', pp. 146–147, 158: "Pueblo-Class DropShip"</ref>  To ensure that any information was able to be transmitted quickly and without the need of a [[JumpShip]], each ''Pueblo'' had a portable [[hyperpulse generator]] installed.<ref name=HLoTV2p146 />

The crew of such a ship, along with the marine detachment, were all trained to either make a boarding assault or to repulse an attack.  The crew, being members of the [[Star League Defense Force]], rarely wore their uniforms and they participated in taking up interstellar trade in order to keep up their appearance of being a civilian craft while they were traveling through and spying upon [[Star League]] member states.<ref name=HLoTV2p146 />

* Early errata reported indicated that stats of Record Sheet of the ship, showed that nose-mounted medium lasers were ER medium lasers, which didn't exist in the Star League era. These were corrected to medium lasers, reducing the ship's nose heat to 75 heat total.<ref>[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,26964.msg963527.html#msg963527 Pueblo errata regarding its weapons reported on official Forums.]</ref>
