In unexpected unity the two clans united to drive the Kindraa off. It was during this battle that [[Loremaster]] [[Ethan Moreau]] was executed by a Kindraa member, earning the Goliath Scorpion enmity.<ref>'"Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 12: "Drift Shag"</ref><ref name=FMWCp104>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 104: "The Golden Time"</ref><ref name=OTPWAp12>''Operational Turning Points: Widowmaker Absorption'', p. 12: "Ethan Moreau"</ref> Consisting of two front line and two second line Clusters in 3059, '''Kindraa Mattila-Carrol''' Clusters were largely populated by [[Binary]]-sized units. These smaller formations are more tactically flexible, and allow the Kindraa to harass enemy forces. These formations provide the same number of troops as a Trinary-sized Cluster, but provides more units to the commanders. The Kindraa allows freeborn and bondsmen to serve in the second line Clusters, but only the absolute best of these troops can hope for promotion to front line Clusters. In [[3067]], Kindraa Mattila-Carrol suffered several political setbacks and changed its role from mediator to isolationist force. The Kindraa also began improving their second line forces to prepare for assaults by larger Kindraa. The 71st Firestorm, 202nd Firebrand, and 301st Firebrand Clusters were assigned a Binary of assault class combat vehicles. The three Binaries of 'Mechs and Elementals were used to form the core of the First Fire Assault Cluster.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 43</ref> By [[3069]], the Kindraa had added almost two Clusters worth of ProtoMechs to their forces and added several new warriors straight from the Coyote ''[[sibko]]s'' in a deal with Clan Coyote.<ref name="WORp38">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 38: "Stalking the Desert"</ref> In [[3072]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] forces attacked the Kindraa's industrial complex of Molten. The Sixty First Firestorm Cluster put up a solid defense, losing half its warriors before being forced to surrender. Those that managed to retreat joined up with the First Fire Assault Cluster at Mockva. Desperate for revenge, the First attacked Reston which had recently fallen to the Seventy-ninth Blood Hussars of Clan Blood Spirit. In December, the 301st Firebrand Cluster, forced by starvation, attacked the Hellion enclaves on Marshall, but found them more heavily defended than first thought, but by Dark Caste warriors. The Mandrills ran straight into prepared positions and were quickly disabled and captured, leaving their own holdings undefended.<ref name="WORp110">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 110: "The Hellion Fades"</ref> By October 3072, the Kindraa's WarShip ''[[Rage (Individual Lola III-class WarShip)|Rage]]'' had been captured by [[Clan Coyote]] and pressed into service.<ref name="WoRp112">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 112: "Stalwart Defense"</ref> The Kindraa had also lost at least three Clusters worth of warriors.
