The '''First Striker Payne''' was a front line cluster of [[Kindraa Payne]].

==History==
The First Striker Payne was stationed on [[Shadow]] in [[3059]].<ref name=FMCRC149>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 149</ref>

In [[3066]], Kindraa Beyl-Grant challenged for the position of [[saKhan]] within the Clan in an attempt to bring more Warden causes before the Clan Council. [[Kindraa Sainze]], holder of the office, was infuriated and struck at the Beyl-Grant with three Clusters. The fighting was fierce and Beyl-Grant stood a good chance of being annihilated but [[Kindraa Payne]] and [[Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga]] intervened and forced the Sainze warriors to withdraw. The First survived this conflict to form part of the new Kindraa Payne-Beyl-Grant.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 42</ref>

The First Striker Payne was to only unit of the Payne Kindraa to be active for the new Kindraa Payne-Beyl-Grant. In [[3069]], the Kindraa launched a series of Trials of Possession for various Coyote holdings on [[Shadow]] and the ''[[Savage Coyote]]'' factory on [[Foster]]. Despite outnumbering the Coyotes nearly two-to-one the Kindraa could not force the Coyotes off of Shadow. The fighting was both on the planet and in the surround space. The ''[[Reaver (Individual Sovetskii Soyuz-class WarShip)|Reaver]]'' broke ''[[zellbrigen]]'' when it exchanging a broadside with the Coyotes' ''[[Windrunner]]'', that was not part of bid. The Coyotes declared the Kindraa forces ''[[dezgra]]'' and wiped out the Seventeenth Auxiliary and First Striker Payne Clusters.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 39</ref>
