Overview
The Katyusha Keshik is made up from personnel raised from the warrior caste of all clans, with command-ranked members of the Keshik often hand-picked for the honor by the Clan Councils who nominate them.
The post is technically an honor, but most of the warriors serving there do not see it this way. Warriors past their prime with the best service records end up here instead of solhama assignments.
All members are clad in white field uniforms.
History
Star Colonel Bispham, the unit's commanding officer in 3062, and several of his warriors were involved in a conspiracy with Inner Sphere ambassador Kapten Oystein Tannerbaum and a Dark Caste element named Varsus to strike a blow into Strana Mechty and inflame the tensions to restart the war between the Clans and the Inner Sphere just one year after the Great Refusal.
The conjure failed prior to setting a bomb against the Master Genetic Repository. Star Colonel Bispham was stopped by a group of clan members and detained by the Ebon Keshik, though Oystein Tannerbaum and Varsus escaped.[1]
