History[edit]
After the IlClan Trial, Clan Wolf became the IlClan, but Khan Alaric Ward had stripped the Wolf Empire of nearly all its warriors in order to take Terra, leaving most Clan Wolf territory defenseless. However, there was one remaining high ranking Wolf officer in the Empire's holdings: Star Colonel Othar. Acting on his own initiative, he took the control of all the Empire's resources and created two new Galaxies: Lupus Galaxy and Rufus Galaxy.[1]
Sometime after creating the Den Keshik command unit, Othar established the Ninety-first Wolf Guards.[2]
Othar appointed a warrior named Josip as leader of the Ninety-first, promoting him to Star Colonel. As a Cluster of Lupus, it was kept in reserve by Othar, far away from the frontlines in the Empire's capital of Gienah. Othar designated them as a strategic reserve and didn't expect to need them to defend the planet, but he was proven wrong wrong.[3]
The Ninety-first and the Den Keshik hadn't seen combat until the Wolf's Dragoons' Zeta Battalion reached Gienah in a deep raid on 6 June 3152. In the Battle of Gienah, Othar sent the Ninety-first to meet Zeta at their landing zone, but Zeta proved to be a hard adversary: their aerospace fighters downed two of the Wolves' Broadsword DropShips, and two Union-Cs were destroyed on the ground by Zeta's artillery. The last Broadsword and Union-C had to flee to survive. A single Wolf Star which attempted to harass Zeta lost four of their 'Mechs. The Ninety-first members felt defeated, and Othar ordered them to retreat to Alliago City, the Empire's capital, on foot.[4]
During the way, Zeta's fighters harassed the Ninety-first, destroying a Trinary of their forces. Soon, the Dragoons followed the Ninety-first to Alliago City, where a three-day long street battle erupted, and the Wolf Cluster was destroyed in the fight. Josip was killed when a building fell over his 'Mech.[5]
On June 11th, the Den Keshik prepared to ambush the Dragoons along with the last remnants of the Ninety-first, but were defeated and destroyed. The Ninety-first was said to have, at best, six surviving members, which probably put an end to the unit's existence.[6]
