Thaman Nilyavich was a notable battle armor commander in the First Liao Guards during the Dark Age Era.[1]
History
Sao-wei Nilyavich was a platoon leader in the First Liao Guards' battle armor element and worked alongside Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery troopers during the joint Capellan Confederation/Draconis Combine invasion of Ingress. While battling against the remnants of the planet's Federated Suns defenders, Nilyavich's squad of Amazon troopers was badly damaged after he called in an artillery strike close to his own position. In doing so, he also eliminated an enemy missile platform that would have posed a significant risk to a Combine OmniMech lance moving through the area, as well as the Oni troopers being carried by them. In recognition of the two dead squadmates and one partially-blinded eye he suffered in the strike, Nilyavich's actions were rewarded with a new company of heavy battle armor for the entire First Liao Guards—with the caveat that one be given to him personally. Returning to service at the head of a new squad of heavy battle armor, now paired with a lance of C3 Computer-equipped OmniMechs, Nilyavich's unit was retooled as a deadly headhunting force. By 3150, his new team was believed to be operating on Liberty, seeking to eliminate the planet's survivng defensive commanders.[1]
Battle Armor
Sao-wei Thaman Nilyavich operated a suit of Amazon battle armor until it was disabled on Ingress. Afterwards, he operated a Draconis Combine-produced Zou heavy battle armor suit.[1]
