Coventry Campaign
The Turkina Keshik was deployed to Coventry with Jade Falcon forces, but did not participate as a unit. Several warriors from the Keshik were temporarily detached to the Harrier and Red-Tail ad-hoc units, which did see action against the Waco Rangers. Additionally, several Trinaries from Turkina Keshik were attached to Clusters full of younger warriors to help stiffen their resolve.[1]
Hegira War
In 3061 the Turkina Keshik fought alongside Khan Marthe Pryde against Steel Viper-forces on several planets in their shared occupation zone.
Officers
- ???? to 3020, Khan Yvonne Hazen.[2]
- 3053, Star Colonel Vandervahn Chistu.[3]
- 3061, Khan Marthe Pryde. Due to the many demands on the Khan's schedule however, the Keshik is normally overseen by the unit's XO, often a Star Colonel who is prepared to command a Galaxy. In 3062 the unit's XO was Star Colonel Quillic Mattlov.[1]
Tactics
The Turkina Keshik hold rigidly to Zellbrigen, and specialize in the Nathaculor.
Composition History
Unlike many Clan Keshiks, the Turkina Keshik is always a Cluster in size. This allows them greater tactical flexibility and allows the Khan to dispatch units as needed. Only Trueborn warriors are allowed in the Turkina Keshik.[1]

Notes
