History[edit]
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 the Free Worlds League 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 was 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[edit]
- No logo was ever designed for the unit
- The unit was only described in the 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 were under contract to the local branch of Luthien Armor Works, but this is not confirmed. Operating so near of the Periphery, they could have been contracted for an antipiracy raid.[citation needed]
