The '''''Shiro''''' was one of the first two ''[[Kirishima]]''-class cruisers to enter service with the [[Draconis Combine]]; manufactured in the shipyards above [[Togura]], the DCS ''Shiro'' underwent trials in secret, entering service in mid-[[3058]], well ahead of estimates. A sister ship to the ''Shiro'', the [[Urizen II|DCS ''Urizen II'']] entered service around the same time, having also completed her shakedown trials ahead of schedule, and the [[DCMS]] deployed the ''Shiro'' to the important [[Benjamin]] system.<ref name="FM:DCp15">''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 15: "Aerospace Assets"</ref>

''[[The Dragon Roars]]'' scenario pack confirms that a ''Kirishima''-class cruiser was lost in action during Operation BULLDOG, but doesn't name the vessel concerned; the destruction of the ''Shiro'' was confirmed by the Catalyst Game Labs staff, but the post confirming the detail was lost as a result of a crash that wiped the BattleTech forums in 2011.
