Shin Legion (Brigade)

Shin Legion
Originating in the Capellan Confederation, the Shin Legion were forced to depart Capellan space quickly upon the ascension of Romano Liao to the Capellan throne. Two of the three regiments made it out of the Confederation, and joined the distant Draconis Combine for safety. Attrition has further diminished the brigade - as of 3059, the Shin Legion could only field a single regiment of BattleMechs.
As the Shin Legion was a foreign brigade, it had a low priority for procurement of war materiel within the DCMS. While serving the Draconis Combine, the Legion was sent on nearly suicidal missions without hesitation, and displayed unwavering loyalty. The unit's colors are flat, dark green with black highlights, and a gray patch omitted - the legion is not allowed to display the Kurita dragon crest.
Update: in 3061, the remaining Shin Legion accepted the invitation of Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao to repatriate to the Capellan Confederation with no reprisals.
