==History==
Originally the command unit for Alpha Galaxy, '''Alpha Keshik''' was split into an independent unit at the start of the [[Golden Century]]. Alpha and Omega Keshiks were usually stationed on [[Strana Mechty]] or Niles, and would rotate between each posting. The Keshiks engage in a wargame with each other before moving from one garrison post to the other. Alpha Keshik consists of a combined arms unit. Alpha Trinary is a Supernova of 'Mechs and Elementals, Gamma Trinary uses heavy vehicles and Elementals, and Beta Trinary is an aerospace unit.<ref name=FM:CRCp64>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 64: "Hell's Keshiks"</ref>

Alpha Keshik can engage any enemy in any terrain. It can also join any Hell's Horses unit and function as a command unit. In combat, Alpha Keshik typically uses its 'Mechs and vehicles to pin an opponent in place while the Elementals close in for the kill.
