History

After the IlClan Trial, Clan Wolf became the IlClan, but Khan Alaric Wards taking almost all the available warriors to Terra left the Wolf Empire totally defenseless. However, it has a remaining high officer: Star Colonel Othar. He, acting by his own initiative, took the control of all the Empire's resources and began creating two new Galaxyes: Lupus Galaxy (Clan Wolf) and Rufus Galaxy (Clan Wolf).[1] Othar, after creating the Den Keshik (Clan Wolf), one of the others it created later was the 91th Wolf Guards.[2]

Othar put at the command of the 91th at a warrior named Josip, which he promoted to Star Colonel. As a Cluster of Lupus, it was keep by Othar in a far away place, in this case, Gienah, the Empire's capital. Othar did it to keep them as strategic reserve; he didn't expect to need them to defend the planet... but facts proved he was wrong.[3]

The 91th and the Den Keshik hadn't a chance to fight until the Wolf's Dragoons Zeta Battalion reached Gienah, in a deep raid, the 6 June 3152. Othar sent the 91th to meet Zeta on their landing zone, but Zeta proved to be a hard adversary: their aerospace fighters downed two of their Broadsword DropShips, and two Union-C were destroyed on the ground by Zeta's artillery. The last Broadsword and Union-C had to flee to survive. A single Wolf Star which attempted to harass Zeta lost four of their 'Mechs. The 91th members feel defeated, and Othar ordered them to retreat to Alliago City , the Empire's capital, on foot.[4] By 11 June, Zeta had totally destroyed the 91th.[5]

During the way, Zeta's fighters harassed the 91th, destroying a Trinary of their forces. Soon, the Dragoons followed the 91th to Alliacgo City, where a three-day long street battle erupted, and the Wolf Cluster was destroyed in the fight. Josip was killed when a building fell over his 'Mech.[6]

The 11 June, the Den Keshik prepared an ambush to the Dragoons, along with the last remnants of the 91th, but they were defeated and destroyed too. The 91th was said to have, at best, six surviving members, which probably put an end to the unit's existance.[7]
