The Shin legion originally painted its BattleMechs a flat, dark green with yellow trim. The unit switched to black accents on their acceptance into the DCMS, but customarily leaves a primer gray spot on the ‘Mechs’ torsos in anticipation of the day when House Kurita grants the unit permission to display the Kurita dragon crest.

The Shin Legion fled the Capellan Confederation for the Draconis combine in 3036, and served in the DCMS until returning to the CCAF in 3061. The unit’s scheme for their time in the CCAF can be found here:
