Description
The Shen Yi is a front line stealth BattleMech which has its roots in previous programs such as the Men Shen and Sha Yu BattleMechs, but due to the ravages of the Word of Blake Jihad, did not see any progress by the Capellan Confederation until the 3080s. The 'Mech entered its prototype stage with the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces in 3085 and was scheduled for deployment with units such as McCarron's Armored Cavalry and the Warrior Houses. The design was seen as a breakthrough in using 'Mechs with Stealth Armor in a front line role as opposed to the previously seen role of Recon by the CCAF. It initially entered its prototype stage with Hellespont BattleMech Works of Sian in the early 3080s.[3] Within 15 years of its introduction, the Shen Yi had been used to begin phasing out its older support elements in the CCAF.[4]
Armaments and Capacities
To perform its role as a main line 'Mech the Shen Yi is armed with a pair of Sian/Ceres Puma 20-Tube Medium Range Missile Launchers with three tons of ammunition in the center and left torsos. These give it a respectable punch at medium to close ranges. For sparing with other units at long range the Shen Yi is armed with a Firmir UltraLase Extended Range Large Laser, mounted in the right arm with a pair of Firmir High-Frequency Medium Pulse Lasers to give it some protection at close range. The 'Mech is protected by 13 tons of Stealth Armor, which is linked to its Guardian ECM Suite in the left arm. To manage its heat load, the 'Mech has been provided with fourteen Double Heat Sinks.[5]
Dark Age Variants
- SHY-5B
- The new standard Shen Yi after testing in the 3090s,[6] this variant retains a single Firmir MaxiLase Large Laser, trading the rest of its arsenal for a pair of FarFire LRM-20 Launchers.[7] BV (2.0) = 1603[8]

Notes
The Shen Yi was originally produced by WizKids as part of their Liao Incursion game release. Writers for WizKids gave Battletech Stats for the 'Mech, but it did not get a record sheet until the release of Technical Readout 3085 and its Record Sheet book. The Shen Yi's LRM variant (which appeared in WizKids' dossiers first) received a record sheet in Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades. An energy variant was speculated upon in TRO: 3085, but has not been mentioned since.
