Private First Class Yang was a member of the Earthforce Marine Corps, or "ground-pounders".
History[]
A rookie, Yang had only been in the Corps a few months when he was called into action.
In 2259, Yang served in the 356th Infantry Division under General Richard Franklin and was despatched to Babylon 5, ostensibly as relief troops for Io, but in reality headed for the Sh'lassen planet Akdor as a part of Operation Sudden Death.
While on the station, he along with GROPO veteran Private First Class Turnbow were billeted in Warren Keffer's quarters. Though Keffer was for from pleased to find a pair of Jar-heads had moved in with him without his knowing, Large quickly endeared him to them.
Unfortunately, Yang was killed in action on Akdor alongside Privates Kleist and P.F.C.'s Turnbow and Durman while assaulting the rebel stronghold at Matok.[1]
