Description
Blackjack 1s are solid, well-rounded 'Mechs for their tonnage. They typically mount Jump Jets, which give them an extra edge by repositioning quickly to keep a direct line of fire for their Autocannons.

Description
One of the newly minted mechs out of Periphery Armory, Inc, the BJ-1PA is a simple rugged design. Armed with a pair of Light Cannons for ranged burst firepower and with a brace of Medium Lasers and HMGs for close-range engagement, the -1PA is a simple yet endearing design. It has found moderate success with purchasers in the Periphery, as intended from the start.

Description
This early Blackjack prototype started along a completely different path for the 'Mech. Focusing on close in weapons, the BJ-1X has four Flamers and four Medium Lasers. The BJ-1X also focused more on speed than jump manueverability, increasing the engine size while removing the Jump Jets.

Description
The BJ-2 was introduced by the Federated Suns as the new production model of the Blackjack based on early experimental designs. It upgrades the 'Mech with two ER Large Lasers in place of the autocannons and removes the medium lasers for four Streak SRM-2 launchers, two each in the left and right sides of the torso.

Description
Built to put the newly created Magshot Gauss Rifles to the test, the BJ-2M proved itself an able combatant quickly. Armed for stand-off ranges with a pair of ER Large Lasers, the BJ-2M has a lethal surprise for anyone closing the distance as 4 Magshot Gauss Rifles and a pair of Medium Lasers cover medium distances. 12 double heat sinks struggle to keep all the weapons contained while 4 jump jets give the -2M traditional Blackjack mobility. While it only has a single ton of Magshot ammo, that's plenty for most engagements.

Description
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 Sinks, a revolutionary re-discovered technology. It is implied 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. The superior heat dissipation allowed the 'Mech to be equipped with two Ceres Arms Smasher PPCs and four Medium Lasers.

Description
The experimental Blackjack-3X was created by the Federated Suns in the earliest days after the Helm Core's recovery. With rediscovered technologies, FedSun engineers discovered they could fit a pair of Binary Laser Cannons, or Blazers, to a medium mech chassis and still give it respectable heat management. The Blackjack was the perfect platform for the pair of Blazers. 13 double heat sinks and a XL engine allowed this to happen and a solitary Small Laser backs the Blazers up. A handful of prototypes were produced but the project was abandoned when the downsides of the Blazers became apparent.

Description
Where most advanced Blackjacks ditched the autocannons in favor of energy weapons, the BJ-5 decided to bring back the autocannons, updated for the modern era. Built on an Endo-Steel frame with an XL Engine for weight-savings, the BJ-5 carries a pair of LB-5X Autocannons and a brace of Medium Lasers for close-range defense. With two tons of ammo and plenty of double heat sinks, the BJ-5 is a capable and effective design at all ranges, bringing new life to the mostly forgotten Blackjack.

Description
Many Blackjacks in the Federated Suns were upgraded to this model during the FedCom Civil War. A half-ton of armor is removed, though the remaining 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 added 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 much more precise.
