According to a blog<ref>''BattleBlog'' entry ''The evolution of a MUL'', 23 March 2011</ref> by [[Joel Bancroft-Connors]], the MUL project started in 2007 as an attempt to assign official [[Battle Value]] 2.0 values to all existing [[BattleMech]] designs. Over the course of the project its scope was expanded; it became a master list of existing units and an official faction/availability list to replace the unofficial and outdated [[La Casse faction list|faction list by Peter La Casse]], and includes introduction dates and known manufacturing data as a successor in spirit to ''[[Objective Raids]]''.

On 14 January 2010, a [[w:Software release life cycle#Beta|Beta version]] of the ''Master Name List'' file (v1.66) was released to the public for fact-checking purposes. Numerous issues were raised by the community and v1.66 remains an unofficial prerelease, i.e. noncanonical. However, it does technically meet the criteria for a [[meta-source]] as it seeks to collate otherwise canonical data. Although it was in fact correctly referred to as the "Master Name List", this document established the informal name "Master Unit List" (MUL) for the entire project and made the MUL known under that name to the general fanbase.
