'''Clan Fire Mandrill''' was one of the original twenty [[Clans]] founded by [[Nicholas Kerensky]], named for a genetically altered species of [[Fire Mandrill (species)|mandrill]] introduced by the [[Star League-In-Exile]] to the [[Pentagon Worlds|Pentagon World]] of [[Eden]].
 
'''Clan Fire Mandrill''' was one of the original twenty [[Clans]] founded by [[Nicholas Kerensky]], named for a genetically altered species of [[Fire Mandrill (species)|mandrill]] introduced by the [[Star League-In-Exile]] to the [[Pentagon Worlds|Pentagon World]] of [[Eden]].
  
From its earliest days Clan Fire Mandrill mimicked the fractious nature of its totem, as different [[Bloodhouse|Bloodhouses]] formed [[Kindraa]] (Kindred Associations) that clashed repeatedly with one another as well as with other Clans. As a result, the Mandrills remained one of the less influential Clans throughout their history. While classed as a [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] Clan by the time of [[Operation REVIVAL]], a number of Kindraa espoused [[Warden Clans|Warden]] ideals. This ideological rift, on top of the chronic Kindraa infighting, prevented the Mandrills from gaining a place among the [[Invading Clans]], and they remained a marginal player in Clan politics during the turbulent events of the 3050s and '60s. Attempts to promote inter-Kindraa unity during this period ultimately failed, and during the [[Wars of Reaving]] Clan Fire Mandrill was destroyed piecemeal, being declared officially nonexistent by the [[Grand Council]] in February 3075.

As the Golden Century drew to a close, the Fire Mandrills had lapsed into semi-isolation. They had little contact with other Clans and were mainly concerned with their own internal conflicts. When the Crusader and Warden movements developed among the Clans, the Fire Mandrills split along Kindraa lines. Crusader and Warden Kindraa soon came to blows as they sought to resolve their philosophical differences by defeating their rivals on the battlefield. Kindraa Sainze championed the Crusader cause and eventually rose to dominate the Clan, reducing the strength of the staunchest Warden Kindraa through a mixture of fighting and politics.{{cn}}

====Operation Revival====
A majority of Mandrills were in the Crusader camp by the time that the Grand Council took the vote to invade the Inner Sphere, and so Clan Fire Mandrill voted in the affirmative. Due to their factionalism the Mandrills fought Trials among themselves to determine who would represent the Clan, shattering their own ''[[touman]]''. As a result they fared poorly when it came to the placement Trials arranged by the Grand Council, defeating [[Clan Ice Hellion]] but losing to [[Clan Coyote]] and [[Clan Star Adder]]. Not even placing well enough to earn a slot as a reserve Clan, the Fire Mandrills sat out [[Operation REVIVAL]] entirely.
