History

The Bronze Keshik was traditionally the command unit of Gamma Galaxy. At the end of the Refusal War the survivors of the original Bronze Keshik gathered a few Trinaries of the shattered Gamma Galaxy and traveled to join the Wolf Clan in Exile under Phelan Kell.[1]

As the reborn Wolf Clan rebuilt under Vladimir Ward after the refusal war a new Bronze Keshik was raised by Galaxy Commander Edwina Carns not from veteran warriors, but from handpicked cadets. She put her new formation through a rigorous training program and by 3059 they were considered of veteran status,[2] and posted to the world of Nox.[3]

By 3067 the Keshik had moved to a position on the planet on Suk II.[4] This move was presumably prompted by the 103rd Striker Cluster losing Radstadt to Clan Ghost Bear in 3060.[5]

The Bronze Keshik faced the Clan Hell's Horses' bridgehead on Hohenems and managed to push back the invaders.[6] The Keshik was still in place on the world in 3079.[7]
