History

This was the Command Trinary of Xi Provisional Galaxy.

On 24 July 3072, the Rossei Keshik led by Galaxy Commander Jal Steiner invaded the battered world of Luthien in a Trial of Annihilation against the Word of Blake's Forty-second Shadow Division. The unit drop directly on top of the Forty-second along other five clusters of the Xi galaxy on the Kado-guchi Valley. The unit, along the other clusters destroyed any Word unit they came across. Steiner led the Rossei Keshik into Imperial City where they encountered several WoB of reinforcements. Forced to regroup, Steiner had all units including the Keshik on Waseda Hills. While Clan Nova Cat forces were reorganizing themselves for a second wave, the Word of Blake fired six nuclear missiles at the hills. It is unknown if the Keshik survived, since only a Cluster and half of Clan forces barely withdrew to their DropShips and left the planet.

After Ajax Drummond became Khan of the Nova Cats, he transferred Elementals from the keshik to other Clusters in Xi Provisional Galaxy. In July 3100, three Stars of the Keshik were destroyed in combat on Irece by cruise missiles launched from Polaris-class DropShips attached to the Rasalhague Dominion's Omega Galaxy.

The Keshik was led by Sakhan Niko West at the Battle of Irece, where it was destroyed.
