Description[edit]

Overlord Stables is considered one of the most honest stables in Solaris, with a reputation for fairness and excellent working conditions.[1] The Stable is based in Silesia.[2]

History[edit]

The stable was formed in 3001.[2]

Considered one of the fairest stables on Solaris, Overlord was the employer of choice among Silesia's finest MechWarriors. The stable's star was rising in the 3050s but by the time of the Solaris Riots on 3062 they had trouble fielding a top contender. With the death of Craig Orme, things went from bad to worse, and though some contenders have shown promise lately — most of them veterans of the stable's alliance with the Skye Tigers Stables during the Riots — it has yet to be seen if they can at least match Orme's success.[3]
