Description
This Stable is loyal to the Duchy of Andurien, not the Free Worlds League, making it a sworn enemy of other stables aligned with the FWL. The Stable is based in Montenegro.[1]
History
The Stable was formed in 3048.[1]
The unit has a long-standing feud with Bromley Stables and supports any stable who has difficulties with them. There is a theory that since 3052 there has been some inter-stable sabotage which resulted in lost fights for Fitzhugh, though fans enjoy the fights between both the stables.
Many believe the death of Thaddeus Fitzhugh is an indirect result of the fight between these two factions. His son, André Fitzhugh become the owner after his father's death.[2]
