Zander Shienzè is a member of the Shienzè clan on New Home.[1]

History[edit]

Zander Shienzè bitterly remembers how his family had once stood for this world and how his father paid service in blood to Devlin Stone during the formation of the Republic of the Sphere, only for Stone to apparently forget this. The family has lost the title of baron since. The Shienzè clan's ruin was the Cavalqueros clan's gain. After the Blackout and the loss of the New Home's HPG station, and therefore without Republic eyes to watch over him, planetary governor Clarence Whitman's rule has degraded into a grab for more land, resources and power, and now he has allied with the Cavalqueros, the one clan with enough power to oppose him.

Piloting a Spider, Shienzè, who now leads a local rebellion, springs an ambush on a vehicle convoy hoping to capture a pair of Bellona tanks that the Cavalqueros had bought and supposedly gifted to Whitman. However, the cargo under the tarps on the flatbed JI100 turns out to be a PNT-10K2 Panther that powers up to spring a trap on the would-be ambushers in return. The hard-fought battle is ultimately a draw when Shienzè in his mauled 'Mech manages to critically damage the Panther with a Death From Above maneuver and manages to regroup his forces. The damaged Panther escapes, but Whitman's reinforcements turn tail, leaving Shienzè to salvage at least some wrecked vehicles.[1]

Some time later, he is being chased by two Demon tanks, one SM1 and four Saxons. He travels to the Ashentines (an offshoot of the New Home's Great Spine Mountains) simulating he is escaping while in reality he is sending them to his trap, set in graveyard where the Word of Blake forces on New Home made their last stand. Hidden infantry, plus a Fox and a Joust, successfully ambush his enemies even though they have deployed Grenadier battle armor and were able to capture the SM1 by the usage of a suicide squad armed with antipersonnel grenades that are thrown inside the vehicle.[2]
