History[edit]

The Second Battle Payne was a second line cluster of Kindraa Payne that was comprised of older warriors. It was stationed on Foster in 3059.[1]

In 3066 Kindraa Beyl-Grant challenged for the position of saKhan within the Clan in an attempt to bring more Warden causes before the Clan Council. Kindraa Sainze, holder of the office, was infuriated and struck at the Beyl-Grant with three Clusters. The fighting was fierce and Beyl-Grant stood a good chance of being annihilated but Kindraa Payne and Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga intervened and forced the Sainze warriors to withdraw. The Second were destroyed in this conflict.[2]
