History
Lishi was a female trueborn aerospace pilot of Clan Ice Hellion. At some time she became ProtoMech pilot, participating in Operation ICE STORM under the command of Khan Raina Montose, becoming one of the few survivors of that group. After the absorption of the Hellions by Clan Goliath Scorpion, she became one of their warriors, reaching the rank of Star Captain. She had to participate in hunts against former Hellions, killing or capturing them, thing than hurt her deeply. 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, also a former Ice Hellion, which gave her another ProtoMech and keep her active as yeoman of the Seekers. In a mission against the Clan Diamond Shark on Wark, her ProtoMech was damaged.[1]
The 14 March 3099, she was on the planet Galicia, observing a pack of Ice Hellion (species) hunting, when she saw a DropShip landing. Onborad was Nearchos, which 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 expectatives of future, so he had to inform her about her imminent transfer to a solahma Cluster.[2]
The 3 July, she was already on her destination, Trinary Sigma Two, on garrison post Iota, in the planet Graystone. Her commanding officer, Star Colonel Rossiton after a meeting, talked her in private. He was too an old Ice hellion, and tell her how much he regretted his survival and the-for him- imminent extinction of their Clan. The 22 October, Lishi was working in the colony's construction, along 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 fell 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.[3]
