Li Hark was a MechWarrior from the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry.[1]

History[edit]

Li Hark was born in Corey, in the shadows of the Hollis Industries plant, seeing during all his childhood Huron Warriors rolling off the assembly lines and dreaming of day piloting a BattleMech.

He joined the CCAF at the age of majority and displayed an aptitude for sensor operations that vaulted him to the top of his class during advanced training. He was as good with communications and his service during his early career was generally with command posts or working on command staffs. He was offered by his CO a recommendation for officer training, which he asked to be instead for MechWarrior training, a request his CO agreed to.

Li Hark excelled with sheer perseverance and managed to complete the demanding course, but without the pedigree of academy training his first MechWarrior assignment was with the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry as a scout lance pilot as Sang-wei Arthur Chin selected him for his considerable skills with sensors and communications

The two have a genuine friendship, as both are very intense, studious, and dedicated to the Celestial Throne.[1]

When in 3068 the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry came under fire and were still very much in the process or replacement and reorganization even once they reached their posting on Homestead, they faced a massive incursion of Federated Suns forces, the commanders of the Third CRC found their communications network disrupted, and in many cases neutralized. In the first hours of the attack, the Third CRC made a decision to abort its structure and splinter down to individual lance-sized elements. Of all these roaming lances, Youling Zhanshi, Chin's Lance, served with the most prominence. He was instrumental in developing the strategy used by the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry and showed remarkable intuition in finding the best times and places to strike at invading forces. Time and again the unit struck at occupying forces.[2] During the those darkest days, Li Hark kept Arthur Chin focused and optimistic. His endless analyses of enemy transmissions and intelligence data helped identify most of the targets the lance attacked during their infamous guerrilla campaign.[1]

His unit was contacted by Death Commando Jason Zaklan, also present on planet and Chin's lance supported Zaklan in his operations.[3]
