Prelude[edit]

The ilKhan declared that Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline-Sainze should be Reaved, and Clan Coyote won the right to carry out the bult of the Trial, though Clan Steel Viper and Clan Goliath Scorpion each contributed a Cluster.

Against the Mandrills[edit]

Clan Coyote struck the Enclave with unexpected fury, aided by previously unseen Assault ProtoMechs and Cephalus OmniMech. The latter was the first indication of the alliance between The Society and Clan Coyote. Despite being outnumbered 3 to 1, the Coyotes defeated the Kindraa in detail, finally saKhan Dakar Mick surrendered. At the formal surrender ceremony at Kline Auditorium all surviving Mandrills, including saKhan Mick were present. Also present at Galaxy Commander Dyson Clearwater's request were the Viper and Scorpion Star Colonels.

Against the Rest[edit]

The Coyote Elementals acting as honor guard for the surrender ceremony slaughtered the remaining Mandrills, the barbary of the act shocking the rest of the onlookers for a moment. Before they could respond, the Elementals turned their guns on the Viper and Scorpion warriors. Simultaneously the rest of Lambda Galaxy tore into the command posts of their erstwhile allies leaving no survivors. Coyote Marines seized the JumpShips in the system.
