History

Operation Revival

saKhan Sarah Weaver along with the Shroud Keshik took command of Beta Galaxy as the Vanguard of the Jaguar Invasion forces, leaving for the Inner Sphere four months ahead of the main body of Clan troops. They secured the route of the invasion and cleared the way for the bulk of the Jaguar forces to move along the Exodus Road.[1]

The Keshik was bid to participate in fighting on the following worlds during the invasion:

Periphery

Wave Three

  • Savinsville - The Keshik won the bid to face the Rolling Thunder mercenary unit, however it was just a smaller unit using the same name and it was quickly defeated. [2]

Wave Five

Tukayyid

It is unclear if Sarah Weaver led the Shroud Keshik on to Tukayyid or opted to led the Swath Keshik instead.

Post Tukayyid

Huntress

The Keshik arrived after Task Force Serpent had landed and taken control of large portions of the planet. They performed a combat drop into the Dhuan Mountains on 26th March 3060 with the Jaguar's Heart. Here engaged the Kathil Uhlans. [4] The Uhlans were reinforced by elements of the MacLeod’s Highlanders and Knights of the Inner Sphere. The Keshik themselves were to reinforce the surviving warriors under Galaxy Commander Russou Howell that had already conducted three assaults against the Inner Sphere lines.[5] Brandon Howell his combined force against the flank of Southern Army of Task Force Serpent. This fourth assault pushed through a minefield before slamming into the Inner Sphere forces in a ferocious melee,[6] before finally pushing them into the Dhuan Swamp. Here the Keshik began the task of hunting them down.[7]
