Andrea was the name given to a Tundra Wolf BattleMech used by a number of Paladins of the Republic of the Sphere.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
Designated with serial number WC320-00L, this Tundra Wolf was piloted by Paladin Dirk Radick during Operation VINDOLANDA, the Republic of the Sphere's counterassault on Tikonov in 3083. While holding a river crossing near Arkhangelsk, and despite destroying a number of Capellan Confederation 'Mechs, Radick was eventually killed while in this 'Mech by Warrior House Tsang Xiao Shiao-zhang Maximillian Paolucci.
Following Radick's death, Andrea passed into the hands of III Hastati Sentinels commander Leonid Tereshchenko, who had been Dispossessed during the fighting on Tikonov. Retaining the 'Mech until his retirement in 3124, he in turn passed it on to his young assistant Janella Lakewood, who also later became a Paladin. It was Lakewood who named the 'Mech Andrea, in honor of her mother Andrea Lakewood.[1][2]
