==History==
 
==History==
Lishi was a female ''trueborn'' aerospace pilot of Clan Ice Hellion. At some time she became ProtoMech pilot, participated in [[Operation ICE STORM]] under the command of [[Khan]] [[Raina Montose]], and became one of the few survivors of that group. After the absorption of the Hellions by Clan Goliath Scorpion, she became one of their warriors and reached the rank of Star Captain. Unfortunately, she had to participate in hunts against former Hellions. With the orders directing her to kill those who resisted or capture them them as bondsmen, she had intense conflicting feelings about her actions. Later, in a battle against [[Hanseatic League]] forces, her full Star was destroyed, and she barely survived. She lost her ProtoMech, but was taken bondsmen by the [[Seekers]] [[Nearchos]], another former Ice Hellion. He gave her another ProtoMech and keep her active as a yeoman of the Seekers. In a mission against the [[Clan Diamond Shark]] on [[Wark]], her ProtoMech was damaged.<ref name=DB>''Dying Breed''</ref>

The 14 March 3099, on the planet [[Galicia]], she observed a pack of [[Ice Hellion (species)|Ice Hellions]] hunting, when she saw a [[DropShip]] landing. Onboard was Nearchos, who sadly informed her than he hadn't managed to find spare parts for her ''Delphyne''. Still worse, she was, by then, the last ProtoMech pilot of the Imperio, and without any prospective future. As a result, he had to inform her about her imminent transfer to a ''solahma'' [[Cluster]].<ref name=DB/>

The 3 July, she was already on her destination, Trinary Sigma Two, on garrison post Iota, in the planet [[Graystone]]. After a meeting, her commanding officer, [[Star Colonel]] [[Rossiton]] talked her in private. He was too an old Ice Hellion, and tells her how much he regretted his survival and the imminent extinction of their former Clan's culture. She pointed than both will be dead before that happens, and the Star Colonel calls her optimistic.

The 22 October, Lishi was working in the colony's construction, alongst with a driver named Ansel, when received the warning than Post Iota was under attack. All the ''solahma'' raced to the base, looking forward to the opportunity to fight one last time. On Iota, they found the attackers were a group of second-line 'mechs from the Hanseatic League. The only defending Scorpion was Rossiton's 'Mech. While he keep busy the attackers, Lishi raced into her ProtoMech, which luckily she had been allowed to take with her, boarded it, and joined the fight. Rossiton falled soon after, and she used the surprise effect at maximum. First she downed a damaged [[Wasp]], making it blow. Her ''Delphyne'' was damaged after, but she didn't stop. She downed a [[Stinger]] and a second ''Wasp. She jumped over a [[Wolverine]], and blasted it from its back. But then she received an impact and fell. Her attacker, a [[Hunchback]], approached her downed ProtoMech. The pilot said than he didn't know what she was, but than soon it won't matter. She answered than she was of a dying breed, like him, and both shoot each other at the same time. Lishi died, but it is implied than she killed the Hansa warrior too.<ref>''Dying Breed'' in ''Shrapnel#12'' p. 97-102</ref>

All the ''solahma'' raced to the base while looking forward to the opportunity to fight one last time. On Iota, they found the attackers were a group of second-line 'mechs from the Hanseatic League' [[Regional Defense Force 5]]. The only defending Scorpion was Rossiton's 'Mech. He kept the attackers busy as the solahma armed themselves. Lishi raced into her ProtoMech, which luckily she had been allowed to take with her, boarded it, and joined the fight. Rossiton fell soon after, and she used the surprise effect of her unexpected entry to its fullest. First she downed a damaged [[Wasp]] and made it explode. While her ''Delphyne'' was damaged, she didn't stop. She proceeded to down a [[Stinger]] and a second ''Wasp''. She jumped over a [[Wolverine]], and blasted it from its back. But then she received a hit and fell. Her attacker, a [[Hunchback]], approached her downed ProtoMech. The pilot addressed her over the comm that he didn't know what she was, but that soon it won't matter once she's slain. She answered to him that she was of a dying breed as is he. As he opens fire, she pulls the trigger one last time. Lishi died, but it is implied than she killed the Hansa warrior in exchange.<ref name=DB/>
