Pacific Rim Novelization
Early Combat History
Launched in 2018[5], Echo Saber is a Mark-4 Jaeger that was stationed at the Tokyo Shatterdome alongside Coyote Tango, and Tacit Ronin. Following the closure of the Tokyo Shatterdome in 2024[2], Echo Saber is relocated to Sydney, Australia.
Mutavore Incident
January 1, 2025, Echo Saber and Vulcan Specter are sent to defend the Anti-Kaiju Wall following the emergence of Mutavore.[4] Despite the efforts of the Mark-4 and Mark-3 Jaeger, Mutavore makes short work of both.[4]
Echo Saber is ripped apart by Mutavore; the Conn-Pod and waist are torn open. Echo Saber sinks into the coastal shallows about the city moments before Vulcan Specter is crushed by Mutavore.[note 1][4] Mutavore is later killed by Striker Eureka.[4]
Trivia
- Echo Saber is one of the three Jaegers to defend the Anti-Kaiju Wall.[4]
- Travis Beacham states that outside the novelization, Mutavore never destroyed two Jaegers before breaching the wall.[6]
Notes
- ↑ ""This is the third such attack in less than two months. Two more Jaegers were destroyed." Cued by the change in topic, the feed cut to a Jaeger sinking in the coastal shallows, its torso ripped open and flames roaring in the open ruins of its head. Raleigh recognized it as Echo Saber."
