Hitomi Iyonjin was a notable MechWarrior in the Second Legion of Vega during the Dark Age Era.[1]

History[edit]

Tai-i Iyonjin was known for being reckless in combat to the point of near-suicide, which he demonstrated adequately during the Draconis Combine's invasion of the Federated Suns. On Xhosa VII, Iyonjin's BattleMech was crippled when he fought an augmented heavy militia lance on his own and at point-blank range. While his 'Mech was repaired following the battle for Xhosa VII, he gave it to a subordinate officer in order to claim a captured Davion heavy 'Mech. While fighting the First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs on Exeter, Iyonjin continued to demonstrate his suicidal zeal when he charged directly into the center of a Chasseurs pursuit lance, destroying the unit. He possessed the element of surprise for that battle, as he had yet to repaint his new machine nor had he changed its IFF codes, giving himself the appearance of a FedSuns friendly until his attack was fully underway.[1]

BattleMechs[edit]

Tai-i Hitomi Iyonjin originally piloted a No-Dachi BattleMech until after the fighting on Xhosa VII. Following that, he piloted a captured Federeated Suns -11D model Marauder.[1]
