History[edit]
Early Life[edit]
Yeh was the son of a former commander of the 29th Royal Dragoon Regiment, who grew up on the Exodus Fleet, idolizing Aleksandr Kerensky both during the trip through the Deep Periphery and later on the Pentagon Worlds. Following Aleksandr's death, he transferred his loyalty to his son Nicholas Kerensky, and had no hesitation following him on the Second Exodus in 2801.
Once on Strana Mechty he was inspired to train hard, becoming a skilled light BattleMech pilot, and passing his trials to become one of the youngest member's of the new Clan Warrior Caste. Assigned to Clan Goliath Scorpion, he was provided with a Falcon 'Mech, which he used for the rest of his life.[2]
Operation KLONDIKE[edit]
Yeh participated in Operation KLONDIKE, ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky's campaign to reconquer the Pentagon Worlds.[1] On 29 July 2821, this included participating in landings on Dagda seeking to defeat the McMillan Collective, and capture their stronghold Firebase Delta.
While he is sometimes reported by later historians as the only Scorpion MechWarrior to survive the assault on Firebase Delta following the boobytrap which resulted in nine Scorpion MechWarriors from one Binary falling into a lava field[2], in reality that distinction was shared with at least Star Captain Kami Sword, who was the one MechWarrior of the lost Binary who did not join them in the lava.[3]
While both Yeh and Sword fought on following the losses at Firebase Delta, they both suffered from the experience, which in Yeh's case was expressed via resentment against Clan Widowmaker, Clan Burrock and Clan Fire Mandrill, for allowing then Scorpions to face the hardest battles on Dagda unsupported.[2]
Late Career and Death[edit]
Following Klondike, Yeh often sought trials against the Clans he blamed for the Goliath Scorpion's losses, and was always at the forefront of these engagements. The resulted in his death in 2828, during one such trial against Clan Burrock.[2]
BattleMech[edit]
Yeh piloted a Falcon BattleMech.[2]
Notes[edit]
Saho Yeh is named as the "only Goliath Scorpion MechWarrior to survive the assault on Fire Base Delta on Dagda" in Historical: Operation Klondike[2]. However this is seemingly contradicted by the short story To Lead and Serve, which reports MechWarrior and Star Captain Kami Sword was the sole surviving member of the Binary which lost 9 members to the lava boobytrap, and witnessed their deaths.[3]
As Historical: Operation Klondike is in-universe a historical work prepared by Dr. Andrea Paliwoda and published by Interstellar Expeditions in 3074, for present purposes it has been assumed its reference to Yeh being the only survivor is inaccurate, and the first-person contemporaneous perspective from To Lead and Serve is to be preferred.
