Overview
The Jaguar's Spirit Keshik as a command unit for Alpha Galaxy of Clan Smoke Jaguar.
History
Operation Revival
The Keshik fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave One
- Stapelfeld - The sparsely populated world had no defenders and surrendered as soon as the Clan forces landed.[1]
Wave Five
- Luthien - Galaxy Commander Dorian Wirth was killed leading the Keshik [2] during the assault and it is likely that they were in the forefront of the fighting during the Battle of Luthien and took heavy casualties.
Tukayyid
It is unclear if Khan Lincoln Osis led the Keshik in to this battle.
Post Tukayyid
After the battle the keshik was spent as a force and required to be rebuilt, a process that took several years.
Operation Bulldog
Wave Three
- Marshdale - Here along with the Ninth Jaguar Cavaliers it was attacked by the ComGuards' Ninth Division, the Ryuken-ni and the First Fusiliers of Oriente. [3] The fighting was bitter and the Cavaliers held the line while the Keshik acted as a strike team, however outnumbered the pressure was too much and on 12th August 3059 the line broke and they retreated off planet. [4]
Tranquil
Ignoring Lincoln Osis' call to defend Huntress, Galaxy Commander Brendon Corbett took his command to Tranquil. Here he hoped to rebuild the Clan and assume the Khanship for himself. Although not stated it appears that the 9th Cavaliers followed him. Pulling out of the Occupation Zone with captured Inner Sphere 'Mechs, many new OmniMech models, allowed the Jaguars to rebuild somewhat. Before they were discovered, attacked and destroyed piecemeal during Operation Damocles.[5]
Officers
- Star Colonel Trace Kotare 305?-3060 [5]
