History[edit]
Despite being a freeborn Garrison Cluster, Adrine and her Third Shark Regulars would take part in the climactic Battle of Tukayyid due to politics, after Omega Galaxy Commander Bikendi Vewas won a Trial of Refusal to force Khan Ian Hawker to use one of Omega's Clusters, Vewas specifically selecting a freeborn Cluster to spite Hawker's narrow-mindedness. While his hand was forced, Hawker relegated Adrine's command to defend the grounded Diamond Shark DropShips, the Third forced to watch as Alpha Galaxy's Nineteenth Heavy Cluster and Thirty-ninth Striker Cluster advance on Kozice Prime and Gamma Galaxy's 222nd Assault and 369th Striker Clusters thrust towards the secondary target of Urcunat were both stalled and then pushed back by the Com Guard Eighth and Second Armies.[2][3][4][1]
With the Sharks' frontline Clusters bottled up in the valley and the defeat of Clan Smoke Jaguar freeing up Com Guard reinforcements, the Sharks were totally unprepared when the fresh troops of the Fifth Army performed a combat drop behind their front lines, surrounding and cutting off both Alpha and Gamma Galaxies from their landing zones and supply deports. While Khan Hawker regrouped his surviving Clusters for a desperate all-out frontal assault in the hopes of breaking through the encircled Com Guard forces, saKhan Barbara Sennet called in the Third to try and rescue the front-line troops of Alpha and Gamma.[2][3][4][1][5]
With time of the essence, Adrine led the Third Shark Regulars along the deepening Kozice River and into Lake Kozice, allowing her forces to emerge unnoticed right next to the easternmost edge of the Com Guard 323rd and 299th Divisions lying in wait for retreating Alpha and Gamma Galaxies. Though catching the Level III commanded by Demi-Precentor Sandra Turley by complete surprise, unfortunately the Com Guard forces staged a fighting withdrawal awaiting reinforcements rather than the panicked broken retreat Adrine needed. While distasteful, Adrine ordered a Feeding Frenzy, discarding zellbrigen to order the Third to savagely slaughter Turley's forces, climaxing with Adrine personally decapitating Turley's Flashman and crushing its head beneath her Mad Dog's foot.[5]
Ultimately Adrine and the Third succeeded where Khan Hawker failed, taking heavy losses but opening a hole for the Sharks' Alpha and Gamma Galaxies to escape. Realizing that despite being assured victory that the Com Guards would not let up until Alpha and Gamma were utterly destroyed and potentially her Clan humiliated and crippled, Star Colonel Adrine silently advanced into flank of the Fifty-Sixth Division, sacrificing herself by setting her Mad Dog between an advancing Com Guard Level II and Khan Hawker, valiantly defending the very Khan who snubbed her to allow his retreat. The remaining members of the Third Shark Regulars would follow Adrine's example, Star Captain Ishmael and the remaining two Trinaries of the Third silently advancing directly into the Com Guards' line of attack, ignoring the confused Khan Hawker's demands for an explanation. Recognizing their intentions, saKhan Sennet would publicly honor their sacrifice with a passage in the Remembrance and led the remaining Diamond Sharks to safety as the ComStar forces destroyed them to a man.[2][3][4][1][5]
BattleMechs[edit]
At the time of her death she piloted a Mad Dog.[2][3][4][1][5]
