History

After the IlClan Trial, Clan Wolf became the IlClan, but Khan Alaric Wards taking almost all the available warriors to Terra left the Wolf Empire totally defenseless. However, it has a remaining high officer: Star Colonel Othar. He, acting by his own initiative, took the control of all the Empire's resources and began creating two new Galaxyes:Lupus Galaxy and Rufus Galaxy (Clan Wolf).[1]

Othar began with the Den Keshik. The 18 June 3151, he saw Radu, the first new warrior of the IlClan, on Gienah. He had just completed his Trial of Position, reaching the rank of Star Captain. After explaining him the victory on Terra, he took Radu to see the Merchant Factor Hilde, and shared his plans to put Radu at the command of the first new Cluster. It had to be the Den Keshik, a command unit, which he planned to make it grow to Supernova strength, but began asz a simple Trinary.[2]

Radu and the Keshik hadn't a chance to fight until the Wolf's Dragoons Zeta Battalion reached Gienah, in a deep raid, the 6 June 3152. Othar sent the Ninety-First Wolf Guards, the only other Wolf unit on planet, to meet Zeta on their landing zone, but were defeated, having to retreat to Alliago City, the Empire's capital. By 11 June, Zeta had totally destroyed the 91th.[3]

The same day, the Den Keshik prepared an ambush to the Dragoons, but the fight on the streets separated Radu from Othar's lance, and after losing an arm of his 'Mech in the battle, came to his assistance.[4] When he arrived, Othar's 'Mech was downed, but Ricard (Clan Wolf) rescued him and, jumping on Radu's 'Mech with his armor, they managed to flee, but the Den Keshik had been de facto destroyed as a unit.[5]
