Description
Named after the Combine’s founder, the Shiro’s classic look evokes samurai pride, glory, honor, and nationalism. It is the only BattleMech within the DCMS that is specifically assigned by a warlord’s command staff. All Shiro pilots are required to have one Combine honor bestowed upon them, the most common being the Bushido Blade.

Notable Pilots
- Tai-sa Moishe Tolkowski
After his heroic stand outside Bueller on Robinson, Tolkowski received word of Tai-sa Lawrence Pinkett’s death. The executive officer immediately consolidated the Seventh’s troops, repositioning them alongside the Eighth Sword of Light. Twenty hours after rebuffing the Hussars counterattack, the chu-sa led the tip of the Combine’s assault on Bueller, overrunning the reeling Davion defenders. The Eighth, impressed with the performance of their ragged comrades in the Seventh, allowed Tolkowski and his remaining Sworders the honor of raising the Kuritan flag in the courtyard of Sandoval palace after Robinson capitulated. The kanrei promoted Tai-sa Tolkowski to command of the Seventh and awarded him a new SH-2P Shiro.
