History

Savinsville was conquered by Clan Smoke Jaguar in July 3050 during the Third Wave of Operation Revival. Initially the Smoke Jaguars believed the planet to be defended by Rolling Thunder, a famous line company from FWL reported on by Wolf's Dragoons, and so saKhan Sarah Weaver herself personally led the Shroud Keshik in the attack. Much to her disappointment the Rolling Thunder they found a two-bit unit which was simply using the same name. Within minutes of the Shroud Keshik's landing they engaged the mercenaries at Blue Ridge Valley and completely routed them.[1]

Notes

  • No logo was ever designed for the unit
  • The unit was only described in Invading Clans Sourcebook
  • It is not explained why a Mercenary unit was defending a kuritan planet with the "Death to Mercenaries" order by Takashi Kurita. It could be that they have been contracted by the operating enterprise, but this is not confirmed. Operating so near of the Periphery, they could have been contract for a anti-piracy raid.[citation needed]
