	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''''Blackjack''''' was designed by [[General Motors]] in the decades before the fall of the [[Star League]], as seditious revolutionaries began popping up while the League's authority was eroding, mainly in the [[Periphery]]. In [[2757]], to combat the increasing threats of the separatists, the League contracted for a medium [[BattleMech]] to be built with anti-insurgency and fire-support capabilities. General Motors' original prototype was equipped with a large [[fusion engine]] supplying increased speed and endurance and [[flamer]] weapons, but these were eventually replaced with more reliable [[autocannon]]s and a smaller engine supported by [[jump jet]]s. The final production model met all of the production requirements and by all accounts was destined to be regarded as a good, reliable 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', pp. 46–47</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', pp. 128–129</ref><ref name=TROSW>''Technical Readout: Succession Wars'', pp. 68–69</ref>	+	The '''''Blackjack''''' was designed by [[General Motors]] in the decades before the fall of the [[Star League]], as seditious revolutionaries began popping up while the League's authority was eroding, mainly in the [[Periphery]].

−	General Motors was blindsided by the bad press the ''Blackjack'' received upon its introduction. Chief among its critics was the charge that the [[StarGuard II]] armor was brittle and tended to fall off, and that its footpads were too narrow and made it susceptible to falling. None of these claims were ever substantiated, but the damage was already done, and as a result the ''Blackjack'' quickly fell out of favor and only spent a few years in service to the Star League. It wasn't long before production was halted altogether and those still in service were either given to [[Terran Hegemony]] militia units or sold off to the Member States. When the Star League was eventually dissolved and the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] began, few shed a tear as the ''Blackjack'' production line on [[Kathil]] was destroyed in [[2796]].<ref name=TRSWp68f/><ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', pp. 46–47</ref>	+	General Motors was blindsided by the bad press the ''Blackjack'' received upon its introduction.

Led by [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] cadet [[Michael Ubodo]], the garrison's ''Blackjack''s took the brunt of the Kuritan attack, destroying wave after wave of light 'Mechs attempting to overwhelm their position, and earned great honor for their successful defense.<ref name=TRSWp68f/><ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/>	+	While all the Successor States had ''Blackjacks'' the majority ended up with the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Federated Suns]], and all but the Suns largely abandoned the design based on its reputation.

−	In the aftermath of the battle other Davion units began to take renewed notice of the ''Blackjack'', and even [[Hanse Davion]] was sufficiently impressed with their performance on Xhosa VII to commission new variants be built. For their part, the Confederation continued to treat the design with utter contempt, although the breakaway nation of [[St. Ives Compact]] couldn't afford to be as discerning and adopted the ''Blackjack'', experimenting with new variants of their own. These efforts culminated in the introduction of the BJ-2, built by Davion techs using newly-recovered [[lostech]], which was first a refit kit before limited production restarted at General Motor's Kathil plant in [[3054]]. Further variants would continue to be produced by both St. Ives and the Federated Suns, and eventually a new [[OmniMech]] version of the ''[[Blackjack (OmniMech)|Blackjack]]'' was completed in [[3058]].<ref name=TRSWp68f/><ref name=TRO3050u/><ref name=TRO3058/>	+	In the aftermath of the battle other Davion units began to take renewed notice of the ''Blackjack'', and even [[Hanse Davion]] was sufficiently impressed with their performance on Xhosa VII to commission new variants be built.

	==Weapons and Equipment==		==Weapons and Equipment==
−	The ''Blackjack'' carries a [[Whirlwind-L|40mm Whirlwind-L]] [[AC/2]] in either arm for long range, direct fire support. While these autocannons provide excellent reach and were sufficient for combating mostly non-'Mech insurgents, they lacked the firepower to deal with well-armored targets. Both weapons are fed from a single ton of ammo located within the center torso.  For close combat, the ''Blackjack'' has four [[Intek (ML)|Intek]] [[medium laser]]s, one in each arm and both the left and right sides of the torso. These lasers, when combined with its maneuverability, make the 'Mech very dangerous and an entire [[lance]] or [[company]] of ''Blackjacks'' can lay down impressive firepower.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/>	+	The ''Blackjack'' carries two Whirlwind-L [[Autocannon/2]]s in either arm for long range, direct fire support.

In [[Introduction Year::2757]], to combat the increasing threats of the separatists, the League contracted for a medium [[BattleMech]] to be built with anti-insurgency and fire-support capabilities. General Motors' original prototype was equipped with a large [[fusion engine]] supplying increased speed and endurance and [[flamer]] weapons, but these were eventually replaced with more reliable [[autocannon]]s and a smaller engine supported by [[jump jet]]s. The final production model met all of the production requirements and by all accounts was destined to be regarded as a good, reliable 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 46-47</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 128-129</ref> General Motors was blindsided by the bad press the ''Blackjack'' received upon its introduction. Chief among its critics was the charge that the StarGuard II armor was brittle and tended to fall off, and that its footpads were too narrow and made it susceptible to falling. None of these claims were ever substantiated, but the damage was already done. The ''Blackjack'' quickly fell out of favor and only spent a few years in service to the Star League. It wasn't long before production was halted altogether and those still in service were either given to [[Terran Hegemony]] militia units or sold off to the Member States. When the Star League was eventually dissolved and the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] began, few shed a tear as the ''Blackjack'' production line on [[Kathil]] was destroyed in [[2796]].<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 46-47</ref> While all the Successor States had ''Blackjacks'' the majority ended up with the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Federated Suns]], and all but the Suns largely abandoned the design based on its reputation. Tinkering with the 'Mech, Davion techs soon discovered that the reputed claims about the ''Blackjack'''s flaws were without foundation, although it was still largely relegated to the March Militias. It wouldn't be until [[3022]] that the myth received its first mortal wound on [[Xhosa VII]]. In battle for control of the planet the infamous ''[[Tai-i]]'' [[Mercer Ravannion]] attempted to test his "Horde" tactic against the local Davion garrison. Led by [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] cadet [[Michael Ubodo]], the garrison's ''Blackjack''s took the brunt of the Kuritan attack, destroying wave after wave of light 'Mechs attempting to overwhelm their position, and earned great honor for their successful defense.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/> In the aftermath of the battle other Davion units began to take renewed notice of the ''Blackjack'', and even [[Hanse Davion]] was sufficiently impressed with their performance on Xhosa VII to commission new variants be built. For their part the Confederation continued to treat the design with utter contempt, although the breakaway nation of [[St. Ives Compact]] couldn't afford to be as discerning and adopted the ''Blackjack'', experimenting with new variants of their own. These efforts culminated with the introduction of the BJ-2, built by Davion techs using newly-recovered [[lostech]], which was first a refit kit before limited production restarted at General Motor's Kathil plant in [[3054]]. Further variants would continue to be produced by both St. Ives and the Federated Suns, and eventually a new [[OmniMech]] version of the ''[[Blackjack (OmniMech)|Blackjack]]'' was completed in [[3058]].<ref name=TRO3050u/><ref name=TRO3058/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Blackjack'' carries two Whirlwind-L [[Autocannon/2]]s in either arm for long range, direct fire support. While these autocannons provide excellent reach and were sufficient for combating mostly non-'Mech insurgents, they lacked the firepower to deal with well-armored targets. Both weapons are fed from a single ton of ammo located within the center torso. For close combat, the ''Blackjack'' has four Intek [[Medium Laser]]s, one in each arm and both the left and right sides of the torso. These lasers, when combined with its maneuverability, make the 'Mech very dangerous and an entire [[lance]] or [[company]] of ''Blackjacks'' can lay down impressive firepower.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/> Two Whitworth Jetlift [[jump jet]]s in either leg give the ''Blackjack'' a jumping distance of 120 meters. These were added late in the design's development, compensation for using the GM 180 [[fusion engine]] which was smaller than in the original. Eight and a half tons of armor protect the ''Blackjack'' while eleven [[heat sinks]] keep it cool during combat.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/> ==Variants== *;BJ-1X : Early Blackjack prototype differed from the production model significantly. It was armed with twin GM Flashpoint [[flamer]]s and additional heat sinks in place of each autocannon, and was powered by a VOX 225 power plant allowing it for greater speed than the later models, but lacked the jumpjets.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/> *;BJ-1DB : The 1DB ''Blackjack'' is a Federated Suns variant intended to increase the 'Mech's lethality. Introduced in [[3022]] after the BJ-1's success on Xhosha VII, one ton of armor plus the arm-mounted autocannons and torso-mounted lasers<ref>''[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=3797.msg1204705#msg1204705 Errata report by user jymset] that was confirmed by [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=52212.msg1205301#msg1205301 the moderator Xotl]''</ref> were replaced with two [[Large Laser]]s and six extra heat sinks added to the design to handle the extra heat load.<ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 881<ref name=CO126/>, BV (2.0) = 1,015<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 111</ref> *;BJ-1DC : The 1DC ''Blackjack'' is another variant inspired by the Xhosha VII battle and was introduced a year after the similar 1DB. Rather than replace the arm-mounted weapons the 1DC sacrifices the 'Mech's jumping ability in order to add two [[Small Laser]]s and an additional heat sink to deal with the extra heat load. BV (1.0) = 718<ref name=CO126/>, BV (2.0) = 917<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 112</ref> *;BJ-2 : The BJ-2 was introduced in [[3052]] by the Federated Suns as the new production model of the ''Blackjack'', based on earlier experimental designs. It upgrades the 'Mech with two Diverse Optics Sunbeam [[ER Large Laser]]s in place of the autocannons and removes the medium lasers for four Hovertec [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers, two each in the left and right sides of the torso. One ton of ammo for the launchers is kept in the left torso while the standard heat sinks were upgraded to [[double heat sink]]s.<ref name=TRO3050u/> ''[note, the BJ-2 was errata'd to use [[double heat sinks]] by [[FASA]] Corporation after its release]'' BV (1.0) = 858<ref name=CO126/>, BV (2.0) = 1,148 *;BJ-2r : Introduced in the [[Dark Age]] this ''Blackjack'' variant replaces the weaponry of the BJ-2 with a [[Large Re-engineered Laser]] in each arm, backed up by a single medium laser. It can jump 120 meters at a time, and uses eleven double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,076<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 111</ref> *;BJ-3 : Built by the [[Capellan Confederation]] on [[St. Ives]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]], this 'Mech was probably the first in decades if not centuries to feature [[Double Heat Sink]]s, a revolutionary re-discovered technology. It is implied<ref>''[[Proprietary]]'' short story</ref> that the heat sinks were actually stolen from the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Lyran Commonwealth]], but in any case the BJ-3 was the first regular variant to employ them again as part of its standard loadout (as opposed to field refits or ancient [[Star League era]] 'Mechs). The superior heat dissipation allowed the 'Mech to be equipped with two Ceres Arms Smasher [[PPC]]s and four [[Medium Laser]]s. The majority of the BJ-3 models were turned over to the Federated Suns by the [[St. Ives Compact]] after the Fourth Succession War, following that state's secession from the Confederation during the war,<ref name=BPFSW-37>''Battlepack: Fourth Succession War'', p. 37 "New 'Mechs - BJ-3 Blackjack"</ref> but production continued domestically within the St. Ives Compact, predominantly but not exclusively for St. Ives Compact forces, afterwards.<ref name=TRO3050u/> BV (1.0) = 1,099, BV (2.0) = 1,271<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 113</ref><ref>''Objective Raids'', p.148 </ref> *;BJ-4 : Many ''Blackjack''s in the Federated Suns were upgraded to this model during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. A half-ton of armor is removed, though it is upgraded to [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]], resulting in almost the same amount of armor protection. All the weapons of the BJ-2 were stripped out and a [[Light Fusion Engine]] was included to free up additional mass. Each arm mounts a [[Light Autocannon/5]] and an [[ER Medium Laser]], while two tons of [[CASE]]-protected ammo in each torso allow the BJ-4 to make use of special munitions. A [[Targeting Computer]] makes all the weapons more accurate.<ref name=TRO3050u/> BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,063<ref name=MUL73>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 73</ref> ===Apocryphal Variants=== {{ApocryphalContentStart}} ''From [[MechWarrior Online]]:'' *;BJ-A "Arrow" : MechWarrior Online's apocryphal version of [[Michael Ubodo]]'s ''Arrow'' is armed with a trio of [[Machine Gun]]s in each arm supplied with two tons of ammo, supported by a Medium Laser in side torso and a [[Large Pulse Laser]] mounted in the center torso. Mounting a 235 standard engine, its varation of the ''Arrow'' is clad in [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor on an [[Endo Steel]] frame, carrying eleven Double Heat Sinks and just two Jump Jets.<ref name=MWO>''MechWarrior Online'' - "The Arrow Hero Mech now available"</ref> {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ==Related OmniMechs== *''[[Blackjack (OmniMech)|Blackjack]]'' - This OmniMech version of the venerable ''Blackjack'' debuted around 3058.<ref name=TRO3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 88</ref> ==Design Quirks== The ''Blackjack'' has the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref>[[BattleMech Manual]], p. 90 Design Quirk Table - Blackjack Entry.</ref> *[[Bad Reputation|Bad Reputation (prior to Clan Invasion Era)]] ==Notes== In German products the unit's proper name was translated to '''Totschläger''', which is the common German expression for a baton (aka as Blackjack in american english).
