The WoBS ''Mayenne'' was one of four ''Pinto''-class cruisers to serve in the Blakist fleet during the [[Jihad]];<ref name="J:FRp128"/> prior to the Jihad, the Word of Blake was only known to be operating a small black water navy of some six WarShips, none of which were ''Pintos'',<ref name="FM:Up90"/> but the Word of Blake had secretly recovered four ''Pintos'' from sites around the [[Inner Sphere]] such as the abandoned [[Star League Defense Force]] facility known as the [[Ruins of Gabriel]] and restored them to operational status.

Two sister ships to the ''Mayenne'', the ''Gorgon'' and the ''Syrstart'', were destroyed early in the [[Jihad]], casualties of the unsuccessful [[Case White (event)|Case WHITE]] attack on the [[Sol]] system in [[3068]] launched by [[ComStar]]. The ''Mayenne'' and the ''Milvano'' survived in service with the Blakists until [[3078]]; both ''Pintos'' and another ten Blakist WarShips were lost during the ferocious Blakist defense of the Sol system in the face of a large assault by the allied coalition assembled by [[Devlin Stone]], one of the closing battles of [[Operation SCOUR]].<ref name="J:FRp128"/>
