The '''Silver Keshik''' is the command unit of Clan Wolf's Beta Galaxy.

==History==
===[[Operation REVIVAL]]===
The Silver Keshik began the invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]] on the planet of [[Blackstone]] in the [[Periphery]], where they quickly defeated the [[Blackstone Guards]], a [[BattleMech]] [[Company]]. 

After that action, the Silver Keshik remained out of action throughout the First and Second Waves.

During the Third Wave, the Silver Keshik invaded [[Planting]] alongside elements of the [[341st Assault (Clan Wolf)|341st Assault]] [[Cluster]] where they faced the [[41st Avalon Hussars|Forty-first Avalon Hussars]] [[RCT]], who used ambushes to stall the Clan offensive. Their effectiveness at this tactic forced [[Khan]] [[Garth Radick]] to break his bid and call down the [[3rd Battle (Clan Wolf)|Third Battle]] Cluster in order to complete the conquest of the world.

In the Fourth Wave, the Silver Keshik assaulted [[Kandis]] in conjunction with components of the [[352nd Assault (Clan Wolf)|352nd Assault]] Cluster. Once again, they faced defenders (including the [[3rd Freemen|Third Freemen]]) who refused a stand-up fight. Khan Radick countered by going after the defenders' command and control structures.

In the Fifth Wave, all of Beta Galaxy landed on [[Kobe]], where they faced the regrouped [[26th Lyran Guards|Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards]] RCT who had defended against [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Alpha Galaxy]] at [[Tamar]]. Beta used a headhunter attack to kill the Twenty-sixth's Commander, [[Hauptmann General]] Joy Corelli in the first battle, and although the [[Lyran]] unit rallied, it had been too badly damaged to hold the world. Recognizing this fact, the Twenty-sixth retreated to [[Thun]].

Beta Galaxy followed the Twenty-sixth Guards to Thun, however, and eventually pushed them off the planet when Khan Radick dropped with Alpha Command [[Star]] into the city of Logan Delta, disrupting the Lyran lines.

===Refusal War===
After the [[Refusal War]] ended, Beta Galaxy was virtually destroyed, and the Silver Keshik was no exception. By appointing the few survivors from the [[11th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|Eleventh Wolf Guards Cluster]] and her own unit, Marialle Radick was able to rebuild the Keshik into an elite Trinary.<ref name=fmccp143>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 143</ref>

===Dark Age===
The Silver Keshik was rumored to be part of the assault force that landed on [[Skye]] on March 2, 3150. These rumors were false; Part of a disinformation campaign to lure [[Turkina Keshik]] and the 124th Falcon Striker Cluster out of position.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 84</ref>

Later that year the Silver Keshik led the [[9th Wolf Guard Striker]] and [[79th Wolf Battle]] Clusters into combat on [[Denebola]]. They were led by [[Khan]] [[Alaric Ward]]. The Wolves caught the [[XV Principes Guards]] unprepared, surrounded the [[Republic of the Sphere]] unit, and destroyed it.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 85</ref>

Silver Keshik went on to attack [[Alula Australis]] on October 19. After issuing a ''batchall'' to [[Colonel]] [[Randolph Abasi]], and led the Silver Keshik into combat with the [[XI Principes Guards]]. Shortly after landing in the Aurora Mines area, the Keshik was bombarded by artillery which opened some sinkholes and inflicted damage to the 'Mechs. For this dishonorable action Alaric Ward killed Colonel Abasi in single combat and the Silver Keshik destroyed the Eleventh's command company.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 91</ref>
