History
The Battle of Keylek
Approximately 123 years into the Great Crusade, the Luna Wolves discovered the world of Keylek, and the species that called it home, the keylekid. A reptillian race, the average keylekid was large and strong (in comparison to an Astartes), requiring three or four rounds from a bolt weapon to permanently put down.[1]
