History[edit]
The First Battle Payne was a front line cluster of Kindraa Payne. In the early thirtieth century it was the only committed Crusader Cluster in Kindraa Payne.[1] In 3048 they provided two Stars to Clan Fire Mandrill's Provisional Assault Cluster that competed in the Trials prior to Operation REVIVAL.[2] It was stationed on Foster in 3059.[3]
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 First were destroyed in this conflict.[4]
