History[edit]
When Andrew Kreese became the first Kindraa Leader of the Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline in 3059,[1][2] she became Kindraa Adjutant, later rising to saKhan.[3]
During the Wars of Reaving, the leaders of the Cloud Cobras, Star Adders and Steel Vipers decided to act together to punish Clan Snow Raven for their departure from the Honor Road after their actions on Galedon. In the middle of this combined action against the Snow Ravens, Clan Fire Mandrill forces from Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline landed on Circe in the middle of a Trial of Possession between Galaxy Commander Fletcher Daniels and his Clan Star Adder forces against Khan Karianna Schmitt and her Clan Blood Spirit forces who had negotiated with saKhan Broderick Sukhanov the cession of several enclaves and Clan lower castes for several Blood Spirit JumpShips and DropShips.
SaKhan Samantha Kline of Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline attempted to declare a Trial of Possession for the two Snow Raven enclaves captured by the Star Adders, but Galaxy Commander Daniels refused to honor the request, claiming that the existing trail for all of the Raven enclaves in the system, past and present, was still underway. SaKhan Kline interpreted the semantics of the Trial differently and landed her forces in an attempt to seize the two enclaves, an action that the Star Adders read as a breach of the Trial. Despite profuse objections from the Blood Spirits, Daniels declared that the Trial had been broken; he then declared the forces from both the Blood Spirits and Fire Mandrills to be dezgra and removed any zellbrigen restrictions from his forces. The Star Adders attacked both the Blood Spirits and Fire Mandrills in a sudden offensive that caught both off-guard, destroying almost two Galaxies of troops.[4]
Khan Karianna Schmitt requested hegira from Daniels, but the Star Adders refused to grant it because of Daniels' declaration that the Blood Spirit and Fire Mandrills were dezgra. An intervention by the remains of the Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline forces managed to allow a few DropShips to escape from Circe without being annihilated by the Star Adders, but at the cost of the Lola III-class destroyer CFM Rancor. Furious with the losses his Clan had taken, Schmitt rebuked saKhan Kline, and attempted to bring the actions of Daniels and the Star Adders to the attention of the Grand Council.[4]
