Created by [[Clan Nova Cat]] after the success of the [[Shoden]], the '''Joust BE701''' was designed to be a well-rounded medium tank.  With a wide mix of weapons, the Joust is a versatile design, capable of handling a multitude of roles and missions. Additionally, the Joust has eight tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, double that of the similar [[Ares (Combat Vehicle)|Ares]] tank, enhancing the Joust's survivability. The tank was designed shortly after the creation of the [[SM1 Tank Destroyer]] Hover Tank during the Jihad.<ref name=MWDAp21>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 21, - "Commentary section" - fluff mentions the vehicle's creation.</ref> Early versions of the Joust had problems with their fire control programs, occasionally causing the ER Large Laser to fire unexpectedly.<ref name=MWDAp21/>
