Description[edit]

Culturally associated with the Draconis Combine, the DeLon Stables is a Solaris VII stable run by the DeLon family. The stable is thought to have connections to the Mafia (the Bertoli family)[1] and the Yakuza equally.[2] The Stable is based in Kobe.[3]

History[edit]

The Stable was formed in 3041.[3]

From the mid-3050s until 3062 the DeLon Stable saw an impressive rise in fame and popularity because Theodore Gross won several Championship titles. The death of Gross during the 3062 riots brought a downswing though. This was also the first visit place Omiko Kurita did when she came to Solaris to lift the ban on Combine citizens fighting in Solaris, which had made all Kuritans of Solaris in a way Ronin in older times.[4]

During the Jihad several MechWarriors of the DeLon Stables, alongside several from the Silver Dragon Stables, joined the Solaris Home Defense League under the leadership of Erik Gray. Many of them were killed in action. After the execution of Kelley Metz by the Word of Blake occupation, a yakuza syndicate (implicitly the Hamagachi clan) under Connor DeLon prepared to take control of the lucrative data smuggling via courier vessels, bypassing the world's HPG.[5]

Somewhere between the Jihad and the Dark Age the stable changed its name to New DeLon Stables.[6]

Stablemasters and Owners[edit]

Thomas DeLon was the stablemaster in 3051.[7]

By the time of the Jihad in ca. 3068 it was run by Connor DeLon; his father, Thomas DeLon, was pushing seventy at the time but still considered one of the sharpest minds of Solaris City. Connor gained full control of the stable when his father died in 3069 from a congestive heart failure.[8]

On 3135 Tybalt Garnet was the assistant manager of the stable. He disappeared after his conspiracy against the Canid Cooperative.[6]

Notable Personnel[edit]

Master Technician[edit]

  • Harold Malone is a longtime employee of the DeLon family, as his father was. He is a skilled technician who sometimes signs on with mercenaries and returns with advanced battlefield salvage.[7]

Instructors[edit]

MechWarriors[edit]

In 3051 20 MechWarriors were fighting for DeLon Stables.[9]

In 3067 16 MechWarriors were fighting for DeLon Stables.[10]
