History

The Ourse Keshik has served as the personal unit of the Clan Ghost Bear Khan since its inception. Though technically not an official member of Alpha Galaxy, this command Supernova is attached logistically.

It took part in the Battle of Tokasha, rapidly moving between battles and reinforcing Ghost Bear units all across the line. This worked well until the battle at Weißenborn Morass, where Khan Kilbourne Jorgensson was killed.[1]

During the Clan Invasion the Ourse Keshik took part in the conquest of a number of worlds, including Porthos, Last Frontier and Utrecht, as well as the pivotal battle of Alshain and the Battle of Tukayyid.[2]

By 3145 the Ourse Keshik was no longer identified by name within the Clan Ghost Bear touman or Rasalhague Dominion military, but Khan Dalia Bekker was operating in the field as part of a command Supernova attached to Alpha Galaxy.[3]
