===Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline===
One of three second-line [[Cluster]]s within [[Kindraa Mick-Kreese (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Kindraa Mick-Kreese]] in [[3059]], the '''Twenty-third Air Assault Force''' consistently had a quarter of its fighters out of action for maintenance at any given time. The unit insignia of the Twenty-third was an aerospace fighter frozen in amber, and in common with other Kindraa Mick-Kreese units the Cluster painted its equipment black with red accents, while personnel wore black uniforms with a touch of red. The flaming fireball standard of Kindraa Mick-Kreese was present on each war machine, either painted as streaking across a fighter fuselage or across the torso of a [[BattleMech]].

The Blood Spirits and the Star Adders had been fighting on [[Circe]] for some time before saKhan Kline brought Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline to the planet in January [[3071]]. She offered aid to the allied Blood Spirits but this was refused, after this she issued a Trial of Possession for two former Snow Raven enclaves that the Adder's had recently taken. [[Galaxy Commander]] Daniels refused as fighting was on going. Kilne landed her forces anyway which the Star Adders took as a breach of trial and declared both Clans ''dezgra'' and lifted ''zellbrigen'' against them.<ref name="WORp54">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 54-5, "Fuel for the Blood Feud"</ref> The Spirits and the Manrills called for ''hegira'' but were refused. In the fighting the Twenty-third was wiped out.<ref name=wor50>''The Wars of Reaving'', p.50 </ref>

:- At this point in time the Twenty-third was based on [[Atreus (Clan System)|Atreus]] and was at four-fifths of full-strength, but while fully equipped with Clan technology, the Cluster used no Omni-technology.
