| - Lightning Shrike was a Mark-4 Jaeger, built in 2018, as part of the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps' Jaeger Program. Funded and built in the United States, Lightning Shrike was one of the first Mark-IVs built and was stationed at the Los Angeles Shatterdome. Over six years of operation, Lightning Shrike took part in ten battles against the Kaiju, attaining six kills for itself, making its pilots, Myka Pearson and Jorie Marsden, two of the few Jaeger aces. As part of the Los Angeles Strike Group, Lightning Shrike was one of several Jaegers deployed to make sure nothing like Trespasser's assault could ever happen again, the memory of the attack still raw even after five years. Due to its assignment in Los Angeles, it often provided assistance to the Panama City Shatterdome to the south and the Anchorage Shatterdome to the North. On October 20, 2024, Lightning Shrike was deployed to fight the Category IV Kaiju, Ngangaro, along with the Mark III Jaeger, Ark Royal, in the city of Acapulco. The resulting engagement lead to the destruction of Ark Royal, most of the city, the death of Ngangaro, and Lightning Shrike being damaged beyond repair. While Pearson and Marsden both survived, Shrike was transported to Oblivion Bay. The remains were later purchased by a private entity, who stated an intent to repair it and use it as a museum piece.
