Description
The Shen Yi fire-support BattleMech was designed by the Capellan Confederation shortly after the Jihad. The 'Mech was produced at a time when the CCAF was rebuilding, saw Shen Yi. The design was seen as a breakthrough for using Stealth Armored units for general combat. It was first produced by Hellespont BattleMech Works of Sian in the early 3080s.[1]
In later years, the CCAF began phasing out a few older missile support elements in the CCAF within 15 years of its introduction. The Shen Yi has mostly been assigned to the more elite forces of the Confederation, such as the Warrior Houses.[2]
Armaments and Capacities
The Shen Yi is armed with pair of 20-Tubed Medium Missile Launchers with three tons of ammunition found in the center and left side torsos. The 'Mech's back-up weapon is a Firmir UltraLase Extended Range Large Laser, mounted in the right arm with a pair Firmir High-Frequency Medium Pulse Lasers.
The 'Mech is protected by 13 tons of Stealth Armor, which is linked to its Guardian ECM Suite found in the left arm. To manage the heat load, the 'mech has been given fourteen Double Heat Sinks.[3]
Variants
- LRM Variant - Introduced by the 3130s, this Shen Yi variant retains its single Firmir MaxiLase Large Laser and pair of LRM-20 Launchers.[4]

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) has yet to receive canon record sheet as of this writing.
