General Son Ok Kim was the commander of the Star League Defense Force's Eighteenth Army as of 2764.[1][2]

History[edit]

A native of Nanking in the Terran Hegemony, Kim was born in 2710, to a farming family who raised animals for meat processing. He therefore piloted a CattleMaster AgroMech growing up, and was recruited by the SLDF after a member noticed his skill with that machine by chance. Sent to the War Academy of Mars for training, he graduated with an officers commission in 2730 at the age of 20 years old.

As a General in charge of the Eighteenth Army, Kim gave his subordinate a wide latitude, including encouraging them to defer to Department of Mega-Engineering officials when providing security for their projects.[1]

BattleMech[edit]

Kim was assigned a vintage Stalker BattleMech when he first entered into active service, and retained the same 'Mech even as a General over 30 years later.[1]
