	Clan Coyote, pissed about all this, had suddenly been contacted by a secretive group of Scientist Caste members known as The Society; a secret organization that plotted the overthrow of the Warrior Caste in order to allow the Scientists to rule supreme. While the Society had been content to just manipulate the Warrior leadership in the future via eugenics and genetic engineering, Andrews’ insistence that all Clan warrior genetics be screened for purity forced their hand. Coyote, already a science-focused Clan that'd had a hand in tons of Clanner technology achievements that they'd received ultimately little recognition for, decided that they would throw their lot in with them and helped the Scientists begin their revolt. It was a spirited fight, but ultimately ended in a complete failure and a panic purging of almost every clan's Scientist pool with some exceptions. But the blame for this event, rather than on an ultimately unsustainable social structure; fell on Clan Coyote since their gear still had all their logos on it. Andrews demanded annihilation once again, but Coyote's warriors protested that many of them hadn't been involved in this at all. To prove it, he declared a Trial of Cleansing; they would personally slaughter their entire Scientist Caste, and any warrior who sided with the Society was to be purged. Though Clan Coyote survived, they had lost their entire research and development capabilities, and half their forces, as well as being otherwise shunned by the other Clans thanks to their actions; only Clan Cloud Cobra would seek them out later in order to further their strength.

	After all of this death, bloodshed, and kicking out of any undesireables, Steel Viper was feeling good about themselves...right up until the next grand council. The orders of business were as per usual; certain bloodnames were to get reaved, Clan Goliath Scorpion got the boot, and everything was going fine...until Star Adder's Khan took the stage, and announced the next clan to be reaved was in fact Steel Viper itself. For all of Steel Viper's claims of purity, they themselves had ultimately undergone many political games in just such the way that the Spheroids would in order for Brett Andrews to keep power, and had crippled the Clans in many of the ways that mattered. Andrews in a fit of rage chose to invoke the trial of refusal, and then just shot the Star Adder Khan, in clear violation of the rules of the Grand Council, sealing their fate. As he was placed in custody, he demanded another trial, and Star Adder's SaKhan, who was buddies with the man who was just shot in cold blood, promptly beat Andrews to death with the enameled ceremonial mask of Star Adder. Steel Viper itself would quickly find it's actual grip on the situation was tenuous at best, as every clan left in Clan Space kind of hated having to check themselves for "purity" or whatever the fuck Andrews meant by that, and pretty quickly tore through them like paper. Star Adder would take in any of the survivors, and the Wars of Reaving were at last over.
