Recognition notes
The Blackjack BJ2-OB is a 50-ton sniper that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 with a 120-metre jump capability. Where the BJ2-O carries twin Ultra AC/5s and four medium lasers across both arms backed by four machine guns in the torsos, this configuration mounts a Gauss rifle in the left arm and an LRM 10 in the right arm, with a Small Laser in the right torso. An Artemis IV fire-control system sits in the right arm alongside the LRM 10, and a C3 slave unit occupies the center torso. Both configurations share the same 200 XL fusion engine, endo steel structure, and standard armor. Luthien Armor Works builds it at Luthien, with production also running at several other sites.
