"Thought is dangerous; lack of thought, deadly."

-...

Yuriko Omega is the commando of the Psionic Command, the sub-faction of the Katsuragi Protectorate. This unit is planned to be voiced by Lisa Yamashiro, reprising her voice.

History
"You know I would not hesitate to turn on you if you showed any signs of weakness. Why do you let me stay?."

"Even monsters can feel emotions, Yuriko."

-Brief exchange between Yuriko Omega and Emperor Kamina

Evidence is mounting that the Katsuragi Protectorate has in its employ some sort of nigh-unstoppable commando who resembles nothing more than a sullen young woman returning home from school with a disappointing report card. She was first discovered by an elite school of Voshkod Typhoons patrolling off the coast of (Ulthuan location).

Only one returned, visibly shaken, with a smattering of reportedly "unwatchable" recorded evidence of this woman's destructive power. This woman has the estimated combat potential of an entire military company, using no obvious means or weapons. As absurd as this may seem, it is believed that this woman eschews conventional weapons in favor of some sort of psionic powers. The number of military tacticians laughing away such an outlandish theory is rapidly decreasing as news of the Katsuragi Protectorate newfangled army continues to spread.

Based on the transmissions intercepted from the Katsuragi Protectorate, this woman is known as Yuriko Omega, presumably a codename. Records of the exact origins of this Yuriko Omega are either highly classified or may not even exist. What has been gleaned, however, is that she is the rumored survivor of an intensive program conducted by Shiro Sanitarium, a private paramilitary R&D firm, whose mysterious founder/benefactor is only known as Iruy (with rumors even abounding that Yuriko is Iruy's daughter), seeking alternatives to Ulthuan's increasing dependence on high technology in its military affairs, but had suddenly disappeared upon Yuriko's first rampage, leaving only extremely damaged notes which the Protectorate eventually used to make the Psionic Corp.

That program must have been dehumanizing, to say the least, yet the results seem self-evident: Yuriko appears to have powers that can best be described as monstrous. Her mind has been "sharpened" to such an edge that it can cut through entire squads seemingly at her whim at the age of six. How exactly this power is manifest, or what effect such powers must have on this woman's psyche, is also unknown.

After an initial encounter with Yuriko Omega, a Voskod commander who has since been discharged sought to probe her combat abilities using the majority of an entire military company including, but not limited, to: ten Spetsnaz, six Igla Troopers, four Kodiak Tanks, three Havocs and two Michell-class Assault Destroyers.

Amazingly, not one of these forces returned from the encounter, even though Yuriko Omega was said to be alone, out of range of other Protectorate forces. Most of Voshkod's high command deemed this to be some sort of perfectly-orchestrated trap. A few insist that Yuriko Omega alone was responsible.

It may be no accident that Yuriko was encountered on her own, for there is reason to believe she is feared even among the Protectorate's own forces even the conventional SDF forces and Asur forces. From a certain perspective, this is hardly a surprise, for one seemingly so young and yet so powerful as she must surely have experienced incredible psychological or even physical trauma during the course of her development. Make no mistake, however: Any pity would almost certainly be lost on Yuriko Omega, who -- or rather, which -- is the closest this world has yet seen to a living weapon.

Extreme caution is advised when engaging Yuriko Omega, or anyone resembling her. Look for evidence of psychic ability such as levitation, telekinesis, mind-reading, ESP, psychokinetic burst, etc. From striking both surface targets and aircraft with rapid barrages of "psychic darts", hurling groups of infantry backward with powerful "psychic blasts", to levitating and crushing even aircraft carriers, and is still capable of ripping apart entire buildings in mere seconds. And when she's particularly angry, her scream becomes powerful enough to go through even toughened steel, roasting the crews of unfortunate vehicles nearby.

And upon officially joining the Protectorate, she personally asked Emperor Kamina for a second opinion on a new school uniform; now Yuriko wears classic blue and white, with a pair of white thigh-high socks. While the Voshkod suspects her clothes to enhance her abilities more so than her old one did, Protectorate soldiers believe she rather did it on a girlish whim. Either way, both sides agree it was worth it.

Trivia

 * Yuriko means "daughter of Yuri" in Japanese. Make that for what you will.
