Description
Zi Han Yan serves in the K321 Unit, an orbital drop infantry group designated Yakitori within the Trade Federation's military. Hailing from China, her defining trait is a calm demeanor under pressure, enabling her effectiveness as the unit's primary strategist. Her analytical skills and tactical planning are consistently applied during high-stakes combat, directly contributing to the unit's decision-making.
Recruited by Vasha Pupkin, she joined other international members to form K321. The unit underwent intensive military training on Mars, known as "the Kitchen," under the authoritarian Commander John Doe. Initial struggles with coordination due to individualistic tendencies gradually gave way to basic teamwork, improving their operational effectiveness beyond standard memory-implanted trainees.
Zi Han Yan participated in K321's first deployment to the planet Barka, a mission initially framed as diplomatic protection for a cat-like special envoy. The assignment rapidly escalated into combat against native mole-like inhabitants rebelling against the Trade Federation's exploitative financial policies. During critical operations, including destroying a captured spider tank and assaulting an enemy artillery base, her strategic input proved vital. She helped discern the artillery base was unmanned and remotely controlled, leading the unit to request orbital strikes from Commander Rimel. These strikes caused catastrophic casualties among the Barka population.
Following the mission, Zi Han Yan and the entire K321 Unit were arrested and scapegoated by the Trade Federation for the Barka genocide. At trial, their defense successfully argued that as Yakitori personnel classified as "equipment" rather than trained soldiers, they could not be held responsible for rules of engagement violations. Acquitted by the court, the unit was mandated to undergo ethics and morals training before redeploying to Barka for a subsequent mission to rescue a Barkan ambassador and her children.
