The '''Golden Keshik''' has long been the premier unit of the [[Clan Coyote Touman|Clan Coyote ''touman'']]. During [[Khan]] [[Sullivan Koga]]'s reorganization efforts in 3052 the Keshik was assigned to [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Alpha Galaxy]], and many of its warriors were encouraged to apply for command slots in other units in the Coyote ''touman''. As a result, between [[3052]] and [[3059]], the Keshik lacked some of the cohesion and skill it had once possessed.<ref name=FM:WCp49/>

The '''Golden Keshik''' has long been the premiere unit of the Clan Coyote touman. During [[Khan]] [[Sullivan Koga]]'s reorganization efforts, many of the warriors of this [[Keshik]] were encouraged to apply for command slots in other units in the Coyote touman. As a result, between [[3052]] and [[3059]], the Keshik lacked some of the cohesion and skill it had once possessed.<ref name=FMWC49/>
 
 
While leading a [[Trial of Possession]] against [[Clan Star Adder]] forces on [[Huntress]] in November [[3062]], Khan Sullivan Koga was killed; presumably while leading the Golden Keshik.<ref name="FMU57">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 57</ref> In [[3067]] the Keshik was stationed on [[Strana Mechty]].<ref name=FM:Up76>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 76: "Clan Coyote Deployment Table"</ref>
 
 
 
The presence of the WarShip the ''[[Great Coyote Spirit]]'' in the defense of [[Tamaron]] from [[Clan Steel Viper]] in late [[3074]] may indicate that the Golden Keshik was present at this battle.<ref name="WoRp142+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 142–143: "Viper's Venom"</ref>
 
 
 
The Keshik survived the [[Society]] revolt,<ref name=WoR95>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 95</ref><ref name=WoR150/> indicating that the warriors forming the unit in [[3075]] either did not join with the revolt or could not positively be identified as collaborating and had won a Trial of Refusal to retain their position. It is possible the Keshik was completely rebuilt with fresh warriors by Khan [[Leo Koga]].<ref name=WoR147>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 147</ref>
 
 
 
The Golden Keshik was part of the multi-Clan force that landed on [[Circe]] in October [[3075]] as part of the Trial of Annihilation against [[Clan Steel Viper]]. Led by Khan Leo Koga the Keshik along with the [[81st Strike (Clan Coyote)|Eighty-first Strike Cluster]] blunted a Viper counterattack and pinned the Vipers in place long enough for forces of [[Clan Stone Lion]] to attack and push the Vipers back. Eventually the defenders were destroyed after being hunted through the ruins of [[Dehra Dun]].<ref name=WoR150>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 150</ref>

* As of [[3067]] the units commanding officer is [[Star Colonel]] [[Silas Kufahl]].<ref name=FMU76>''Field Manual: Update'', p. 76, "Clan Coyote Deployment Table"</ref>
The Golden Keshik was traditionally led by the Khan of the Clan, although a Star Colonel would tend to the day to day administration.
