In late [[3068]], [[Clan Fire Mandrill|Clan Fire Mandrill's]] [[Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline]] attacked Kirin hoping to take advantage of supposed Horse weakness. By the end of the year they had claimed Kirin MechWorks, the nearby city, and other territory, amounting to almost a third of the Horse enclaves. Several Horse Clusters from [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Delta Galaxy]] then arrived and regained nearly all of the conquered areas except for KM City<ref name=TWORp36-37/>
