History
The Quasar Keshik was formed as a Trinary during the Golden Century as the command unit of Beta Galaxy. In the late twenty-ninth century following an engagement with several other Clans the Star Adders split the Command units from Alpha and Beta Galaxies and combining them with naval assets formed a separate Command Group. In the years that followed the Keshik grew from the initial Trinary to a Cluster in strength.[1]
Between 3059 and 3067 the Keshik was based on Sheridan.[2][3]
When Galaxy Commander Wyatt Talasko was elected saKhan of the Star Adders he kept control of Gamma Galaxy and attached the Quasar Keshik to it.[4]
