The development of the ''Black Lanner'' began due to the lessons learned by the Jade Falcons from [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|their ''touman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s]] performance during the Placement Trials for [[Operation REVIVAL]]. Delays with the initial models meant the ''Black Lanner'' only arrived in the Inner Sphere with the returning Falcon [[Khan]]s following the selection of [[ilKhan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]], and first saw action during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] as fire-support units in light reconnaissance [[Star]]s. Since its initial deployment, the ''Black Lanner'' remained primarily a Jade Falcon design, with [[Clan Ice Hellion]] and [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Viper]] also using a sizable number acquired due to numerous battles and trials between rival Clans since [[Tukayyid]]. <ref name=TRO3058U176-177/>

While used for independent operations, the ''Black Lanner'' is most frequently seen in conjunction with lighter designs. Mixed Stars of ''Black Lanners'', ''[[Fire Falcon]]s'' and [[Fire Moth (Dasher)|''Fire Moths'']] are common, with the lighter 'Mechs acting as spotters and harassers for the heavier 'Mechs, flushing out the opposing units for the ''Black Lanner'' to move in for the kill. This synergistic relationship is similar to that shared between the smaller [[Fire falcon (species)|indigenous fire falcon]] and the introduced [[Black lanner (species|black lanners]] on [[Ironhold]], both birds benefiting from the presence of the other.<ref name=TRO3058U176-177/>

Originally built on the Jade Falcon homeworld of Ironhold, production would also eventually begin in the Inner Sphere to mitigate the distance to the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. By the dawn of the [[Wars of Reaving]], production of the ''Black Lanner'' would cease in [[Kerensky Cluster|Clan Space]] by [[3068]] as tensions between the Falcons and the [[Home Clans]] increased.<ref name=WoRS-17>''The Wars of Reaving Supplemental'', p. 17 "Discarded Tools of War"</ref>
