## Biography

### Early Life

Shannon Lucas was a celebrated astronaut who was to be the pilot of the first stellar cruise ships for Earth's races to begin their maiden voyage into space after the inspiration of the *Spear of Selene* despite the incident that happened years ago, claimed to have inspired by Della Duck or perhaps knew her in the past. Shannon conducted possible research of the moon being inhabited before by an ancient advance race or the remains of the previous civilization from the Connected Era before the break up of Pangea. She worked alongside NASA and fellow officers of the military who supported the ideas of setting up bases on the moon or other worlds to protect the world from possible invaders that arrived before and better defence against the Grimm.

Shannon was recruited for the project and met both General Steel and commander Deuce, while the general she considered a fool to suggest bigger and stronger weapons to use against the Grimm and not all trusting towards huntsmen and most heroes, she got on well with Deuce who was smart and reasonable to share some ideas of improving Earth's future stellar voyages and proper understanding of the recent finds of extraterrestrial technology found from Earth's Lunar, the broken moon.

It is possibly there was a brief moment between the two during the project over the months until that fateful incident when Steel gave the authorisation of using the untested weapons and technologies from the Connected Era with Dust, she warned him of the reckless dangers of using them without warning until the lab was destroyed in an accidental overload. Presumed killed in an accident but not known to the public while under investigation of what happened under Global Justice's jurisdiction.

### Vehicon Army

Shannon was part of Gelorum's latest models of drones from observing the latest developments of the warriors on Earth and transferred the data files of their skills and abilities into the development of the new generals. However, in need to control the new Vehicon army that lacks the intelligence or the preservation to operate, she needed generals of advanced units to command them and for the Artillery drones, now going by the name ‘Strika’, she was created to command them with strong intelligence and strategy. Possibly used living beings to transfer their minds into the Generals to make them unique and powerful.

As Thrust, Jetstorm and Tankor were giving tasks to prove themselves to Gelorum by attacking the Digimon known as Omnimon, both Obsidian and Strika were given the task to attack the Crystal Gems and tested the weapons against them, including Fusions but while scanning them for threat possibility, they discovered Steven Universe, a human child with Gem genetic traits which was considered impossible but not only that, they have discovered it was the gem of Pink Diamond herself who was thought to have been destroyed by the Crystal Gems thousands of years ago. They fought the Gems along with Greg Universe and Johnny Bravo who were with them, the two generals were able to outsmart their opponents after using Gem Destabilizer weapons on Garnet, forcing her to split into Ruby and Sapphire. Obsidian and Strika were about to finish the rest off until the sudden arrival of Major Glory came to the group's aide. Knowing the hero as a dangerous threat and not strong enough to fight him, the two generals make a retreat back to base through the Ground Bridge to deliver their report to their leader.

#### Next Phase

As the Generals returned from their missions and revealed new knowledge to Gelorum, proven themselves worthy as her Generals and revealed that Pink Diamond faked her shattering, taken the identity of Rose Quartz who started the Rebellion against the Gem Empire and was fused with her human child, which was unexpected but proved her theory of how they fought well against the Diamonds. Given a new mission for the next phase, this time with an army to command of their own: attacking both the Gem Homeworld to allow their allies to 'rescue' the Elementals from the Gems and attack the Hall of Justice.

Using the Space Bridge to open up beneath the known cities of the Gem Homeworld, Strika alongside Obsidian sent Wally, Cree and Mr. Roboto using their drones to navigate through the surface to make sabotage the Gem’s defense and communication systems, making them vulnerable for outside attacks while taking the chance to find the Elementals, granting the Racing Drones the opportunity to invade the planet but was thwarted by the energy waves from the Diamonds’ battle that destroyed the portal.

### Racing Realms

Strika was among the many drones that were able to invade the Accelerons’ city and retrieved the Wheel of Power after months of searching for a human named Peter Tezla to gain access to the Racing Realms. Giving advice to Gelorum that the attack failed but giving them time to recover data files from the planet. knowing their true purpose was to find the Accelerons, the racing Drones’ creators, and destroy them.

In her robot mode, she through powers sphere from her hands and is able to move faster than her size suggests thanks to the anti-gravity devices built into her feet.
