History[edit]
Kindraa Mick-Kreese[edit]
The Fourth Elemental Assault Force were usually stationed on one of the Kindraa's WarShips, the Jungle Heat. When operating in ground action they worked in conjunction with the Eleventh Battle Force for 'Mech support.[1][2][3]
Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline[edit]
In late 3068 the Kindraa struck out against Clan Hell's Horses enclaves on Kirin. SaKhan Kline's forces, including the Fourth, met with initial success capturing several important facilities, factories and cities almost a third of Kirin and winning important raw resources and materials. She failed to notice the quality of the troops lined up against her and was surprised by a counterattack by the Horses' Delta Galaxy that pushed the Mandrills out of almost every enclave except KM City.[4]
Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline-Sainze[edit]
In the wake of the call issued by ilKhan Brett Andrews in December 3071 to Reave all of the Bloodnames associated with the Invader Clans, Star Colonel Abraxas Mick led the Fourth in an attack on the Blood Chapels on Strana Mechty. Various Clans fought each other here, with the conflict escalating steadily after the destruction of the Kerensky and Winson Blood Chapels. The peak of the conflict came when Fire Mandrill forces attempting to seize the McKenna and Clearwater Blood Chapels fared badly. Abraxas Mick ordered the Jungle Heat to destroy the Chapels by orbital bombardment. Several Clans were outraged by the Fire Mandrills' actions, and the Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser CSV Sanra Mercer and the Carrack-class transport CCS Solar Blaze attacked and destroyed the Jungle Heat.[5]
It is uncertain if the Fourth survived the fighting on Strana Mechty and the destruction of the Jungle Heat. If they did they certainly did not survive the Viper call for a Trial of Reaving against Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline-Sainze in January 3072.[6]
