In common with the other elements of [[Upsilon Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Upsilon Galaxy]], the '''Light Keshik''' was established using units and personnel originally from the [[Republic of the Sphere]], most commonly those worlds around [[Stewart]]. While the Keshik's homeworlds had originally been a part of the [[Free Worlds League]] prior to the formation of the Republic, the invasion by forces from the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] left the populations with a lingering fear of invasion by outsiders, and it was this fear that [[Clan Wolf]] exploited when raising Upsilon Galaxy as a part of the forces of the [[Wolf Empire]].<ref name="FM:3145p161"/>

Clan Wolf offered those who joined Upsilon Galaxy the opportunity to defend themselves where both the Free Worlds League and the Republic failed them, as well as allowing the Keshik to draw on the output of the [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno|Corean Enterprises]] factories in the region, before allowing the Keshik to concentrate its efforts against the forces of the reborn Free Worlds League. Given the proximity of the [[Clan Protectorate]], in [[3145]] it was considered likely that sooner or later the Keshik would find itself defending against attacks from the [[Spirit Cats]].<ref name="FM:3145p161"/> The Light Keshik was the lead Cluster within Upsilon Galaxy.<ref name="FM:3145p171"/>
