History[edit]
The Seventh Sainze Honor Guard Striker has existed since the founding of the Kindraa.[1]
The Cluster was nearly broken in the infighting between Crusaders and Wardens in the late 3040s.[1]
In 3067 the Seventh was stationed on Dagda.[2]
In late 3068 the Seventh was part of a force that attacked Niles along with warriors from Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline. They gained safcon and issued a batchall for the industrial facility of Industriplex Upsilon. This was defended by the Horses' Eta Galaxy who used the complex's heavy defenses to good use, only a surprise flanking maneuver by the Seventh breached the Horses' line to take the facility. Two weeks later in January 3069 the Horses' Beta Galaxy counterattacked and in a swift action defeated the defending Fire Mandrills. Refusing to call in reinforcements the Seventh and the Third Honor Guard Battle fought on in a meat grinder of a battle that they eventually won. The eventual counterattack overwhelmed the Seventh, although the bulk of the Mandrill on planet escaped.[3]
When Scorpion Khan Ariel Suvorov declared a Trial of Refusal against Garret Sainze's election as ilKhan in February 3071,[4] Sainze met Suvorov's forces on Shadow. In a three-day campaign four Clusters from his Kindraa battled a like number of Goliath Scorpions; by the end of the fighting Sainze had perished, along with most of his warriors.[5] Not all of the Clusters involved are recorded, but as a front line unit it is highly likely the Seventh was part of this force and was destroyed.
