- Overview:
With the acquisition of sword construction technology from the Draconis Combine through the Word of Blake, the Capellan Confederation decided to produce a sword bearing mech, as the chinese Han culture also viewed the sword as the epitome of weaponry for a true warrior. The swordsman archetype, firmly ingrained within the chinese consciousness, was also another factor for their designing the Shen Bing, or Divine Soldier.
- Capabilities:
While not as fast as the Ti Tsang, the Shen Bing is still fast enough to close in with most Inner Sphere heavy mechs, its preferred targets. The inclusion of stealth armor on the Shen Bing ensures that it can avoid almost anything thrown at it at long and medium ranges, while 12 tons of armor provide excellent endurance.
The Shen Bing's forte is in close combat, and it does not disappoint. A devastating bank of energy weapons can savage any mech, while the sword can easily lop off chunks of armor off opponents, and with the triple strength myomer engaged, becomes doubly dangerous.
Most interesting was the inclusion of a targeting computer in the Shen Bing, probably provided by the Word of Blake. The targeting computer allows the Shen Bing to overheat significantly to increase its speed without sacrificing accuracy for its weapons.
- Notable 'Mechs & MechWarriors:
Feng Qing Yang
Once a Shang Wei in House Daidachi, Feng left his House after intense action in the campaign against the Word of Blake.
In his Shen Bing, 'Jian Mo', or Sword Demon, Feng destroyed over 25 Word of Blake mechs in vicious hand to hand combat. In one battle on Chesterton alone, he defeated in rapid succession two Gurkhas, one Buccaneer, a Black Dragon, and finally a Berserker.
For unknown reasons, Feng retired soon after, taking his mech with him. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
Feng is a master swordsman, and very probably the best exponent of mech swordfighting in all of known space.
- Deployment
Shen Bings are deployed mostly within Warrior House units and the Red Lancers. Highly regarded, only a scarce few have made their way to other Liao regiments, and even fewer to House Laio's Trinity allies.
