The '''Thirty-first Vanguard Striker Cluster''' was the garrison of the Kindraa's holdings on [[Foster]] in 3059.<ref name=FMCC150>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 150: "Kindraa Kline"</ref>
+
In [[3067]] two clusters from Kindraa Mick-Kreese joined [[Iota Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Iota Galaxy]] of [[Clan Blood Spirit]] for an assault on [[Clan Star Adder]] on [[Tathis]]. Jealousy prompted Kindraa Kilne to send the 27th Vanguard, 31st Vanguard and 42nd Vanguard Clusters to join the assault. Joining the battle late, Kindraa Kline dropped into the middle of the combat, and the resulting confusion inflicted heavy losses on everyone involved, with many incidents of friendly fire. The Kindraa took seventy-five percent casualties and resulted in the destruction of the Cluster.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 40</ref><ref name="WoRp17">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 17, "Monkey in the Middle"</ref>
