== History ==
=== Formation ===
In common with the other elements of [[Sigma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Sigma Galaxy]] the '''Dark Keshik''' was raised predominantly from recruiting among the Lyran population of the [[Wolf Empire]]. Stationed on the border with the [[Free Worlds League]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the Keshik found itself in the unenviable position of not only fighting against their ages-old enemy but also against their former countrymen from the [[Bolan Province]].<ref name="FM:3145p161">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 161, "Sigma Galaxy"</ref>

Given Sigma's position on the anti-spinward border of the Wolf Empire it found itself struggling to obtain new equipment, including [[battle armor]]; as a consequence, as late as [[3145]] the Keshik was still largely reliant on tanks to do the heavy fighting, and had little choice but to rely on conventional infantry forces, although the infantry were at least equipped with improved small arms thanks to [[Clan]] technology. The loyalty of those in the Keshik to the Wolf Empire was driven largely by fear of invasion from the Free Worlds League.<ref name="FM:3145p161"/>
