History[edit]

Operation Revival[edit]

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.[1]

Post-Invasion[edit]

In 3059 the Keshik was transferred to serve as the command unit of Alpha Galaxy.[2] 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.[3]

The Keshik fought on Waldorff alongside the Fourth Viper Guards against the Falcon's Delta Galaxy in 3061.[4]

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.[5]

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.[5]

Wars of Reaving[edit]

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.[6]

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.[7]
