History

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.[1]

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.[2]

In 3067 the Keshik was stationed on Strana Mechty.[3]

The Keshik survived the Society revolt[4][5], 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.[6]

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 Eighty-first Strike Cluster blunted a Viper counter=attack 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.[7]

Officers

As of 3061, the commanding officer was Khan Sullivan Koga.[1]
