==History==
 
==History==
===Operation Revival===
+
===[[Operation Revival]]===
The '''Triasch Keshik''' formally accepted the planet of [[Waldorff]] from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] without a shot being fired, on the orders of the [[ilKhan]] in November 3051, during [[Operation Revival]].<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 88</ref>
+
...
  
===Post-Invasion===
+
===Post Invasion===
In 3059 the Keshik was transferred to serve as the command unit of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]].<ref name=FMWC143/> Although it was separated from the main body as it was stationed on [[Strana Mechty]]. However, by 3067 it had taken an independent command role again, and was still on Strana Mechty.<ref name=FMU79>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 79</ref>
+
...
  
The Keshik fought on [[Waldorff]] alongside the [[4th Viper Guards (Clan Steel Viper)|Fourth Viper Guards]] against the Falcon's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] in [[3061]].<ref>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 64</ref>
+
===Ejection from the Inner Sphere===
 
+
...
The Triasch Keshik led the assault on [[Lum]] in [[3065]] and was notably the last Viper unit to depart the planet, [[Khan]] Zalman insisted he would not leave the planet while his troops remained there. The Keshik took significant casualties as the fighting wore on, most notably when the Khan’s [[DropShip]] was destroyed.<ref name=FMU67>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 67</ref>
 
 
 
After the Battle of Lum a year of Trials was held to determine those warriors worthy of joining the Keshik. The unit returned to its full strength of five Trinaries in 3067.<ref name=FMU67/>
 
 
 
===Wars of Reaving===
 
In January [[3070]] the Triasch Keshik assaulted the Falcon holdings on Strana Mechty and after only a few hours had destroyed every last Falcon warrior.<ref name=WoR47>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 47</ref>
 
 
 
[[IlKhan]] Andrews' violation of the Council's rules and traditions by shooting Khan N'Buta during the meeting pushed the Cloud Cobra Khan [[Hollyann Kardaan]] to condemn the act as evidence of the Steel Vipers' corruption, calling for an Annihilation of the Clan. The Keshik were defending [[New Kent]] when a combined Clan force attacked in December [[3075]]. After an epic naval battle that saw over 500 Viper fighters engage and destroyed the last of the Viper capital ships the Clans landed. Over a quarter of the transport DropShips had been destroyed in space and the ground batteries took a further toll. The Blood Spirits landed first followed by the Stone Lions, silencing the batteries and allowing the rest of the assault force to land. After a week of fighting the Vipers including the Triasch Keshik were surrounded. The final assault eventually came after a lull in fighting, but the Vipers turn the shattered street of New Kent City into a fortress and could not be dislodged. As the casualties mounted the new ilKhan recalled his forces and obliterated the city and all surviving Steel Vipers with an orbital bombardment.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 149–150</ref>
