'''Gilgamesh Stables''' is a new stable trying to grow in the complex [[Solaris VII]] world.
 
 
Rivera's [[Solaris City]] townhouse functions as the stables headquarters, the MechWarriors and technical staff are quartered at a chartered facility between Solaris City and [[Xolara]]. The facility only hosts enough 'Mech bays for twelve machines at a time. As they have more 'Mechs, this means the stables have to rotate the machines to repair them, which usually leads to issues between the MechWarriors to get their next ride repaired as quickly as possible so they can practice.<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp3c">''Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 3, 'Facilities'</ref>

==History==
'''Gilgamesh Stables''' appeared on Solaris City scene in early [[3010]] after putting two of their gladiators in the [[Top 20 Unlimited Class List|Top 20]] in both [[3011]] and [[3012]]. The Stable Master enjoys watching his fighters from custom-décor boxes in every major arena, often inviting dignitaries from the [[Free Worlds League]] to watch with him. His fighters do not regard him so highly as four MechWarriors have bought out their contracts since February [[3013]], among them 3012's Number 18 [[Li Chien-lu]].<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp3d">''Stable Report: Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 3</ref>

Since 3013 he has been under investigation from Solaris City Police Department for several of his last-minute buys that had made large gains, and also for appearing in the ledger of a mid-level Mafia bookie in [[Montenegro]], Morris Chastain.

Why he retired is unknown, though the day prior to his retirement and travel to [[Solaris]] there is a record of a duel being fought. He has made his living teaching MechWarriors to fight in the arenas, finally ascending to weapons master at Gilgamesh in 3011. He is a harsh disciplinarian, who runs his small group of MechWarrior much like a 'Mech lance. Most of this students respond well to this treatment.<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp4b">''Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 4, 'Weapons Master Terrence LaPlace'</ref> He is also a Veteran MechWarrior and an expert in BattleMech combat.

She grew up on [[Tharkad]], raised by her maternal grandparents when her parents were deployed off-world. When she turned 21 told her parents that se wasn't enlisting in the [[LCAF]]. Her skills with damaged weaponry made her easily employable, and Rivera pushed Ricardo Stevens to give her more responsibility.<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp4c">''Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 4, 'Lead Technician Lisa Standish'</ref>

* [[Bianca Jameson]] is the Stable negotiator.<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp4f">''Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 4, 'Bianca Jameson'</ref>
+
* '''Bianca Jameson''' is the Stable negotiator, the woman who arranges most of Gilgamesh's bouts and gets the best rates and purses. Her deals with the Solaris Broadcasting Company for the 3013 season have meant that even when the Stables pilots lose, Rivera comes out ahead on re-broadcast right in distant markets. She is a small woman who sues her size to her advantage. Her uncanny ability to size up a room full of investors and identify those who're likely to fund Rivera's ventures. Her skills make she get twice the income that another negotiator might make.<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp4f">''Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 4, 'Bianca Jameson'</ref>
  
 
==Tactics and Style==
 
==Tactics and Style==
 
Gilgamesh trains pilots in one school of combat: pound the enemy to scraps with as much firepower as possible as ''Hector Rivera'' decreed one rule when he formed the stable: victory.

To date the stable's tactics have been marginally successful, but the instructors have had to adjust their training to adapt to the different battlefields of Solaris City arenas. '''Erica Boise''' is trying to make the stable adopt a tactic she calls Bulwark: a 'Mech positions itself behind a terrain obstacle and uses superior gunnery to overcome its opponents. This works if the 'Mech is powerful enough, but against mobile enemies, the machine is often flanked and overrun.<ref name="GILGAMESHSTABLESp3a">''Gilgamesh Stables'', p. 3 'Tactics'</ref>
