53rd Assault (Clan Fire Mandrill)
Contents
History
Fifty-third Assault Cluster was a front line Cluster of Kindraa Sainze. In 3059 and 3067 the Cluster was stationed on Shadow.[1][2]
When Scorpion Khan Ariel Suvorov declared a Trial of Refusal against Garret Sainze's election as ilKhan in February 3071,[3] Sainze met Suvorov's forces on Shadow. In a three-day campaign four Clusters from his Kindraa battled a like number of Goliath Scorpions; by the end of the fighting Sainze had perished, along with most of his warriors.[4] The Clusters involved are not recorded but as a front line it is highly likely the Fifty-third was in this force and destroyed.
Officers
Between 3059 and 3067 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Taki Sainze.[5][2]
Tactics
The Cluster had no special tactical traits.
