Description
Vampires Stable is a 'Mech fighting stable based on Solaris VII, Officially a non-affiliated stable but Federated Commonwealth leanings have been noted.
History
The Vampires were a rising stable for almost two years, but a string of losses cost the stable the vast majority of its income and some of its most talented MechWarriors. As things deteriorated, their scruples slid and in 3054 they were caught tampering with their opponents' ammunition and banned from the primary arenas. They relocated to Xolara, but additional issues and charges of theft ended up with the stable only being accepted in the King of the Mountain arena.[1]
Around 3055 the Vampires became embroiled in a barroom brawl with the newly formed Hombres Stables, spawning a feud between both stables that resulted in a series of memorable grudge matches.[2]
After robbing a VEST prototype, what followed was a spectacular loss to VEST in a gurdge match. That and the increasingly evidence that they were engaged in underworld work, made the Vampires Stable reportedly collapse. Despite this, frequent tales exists of a Vampire Stables supposedly fighting out in the boondocks of Solaris VII in the Class One and Two matches.[3]
By 3067 the Stable had closed.[4]
Stable Master and Owners
Notable Personnel
Technician
- Annis McKaffry, the stable's Senior Tech and former Leftenant of the Federated Commonwealth, is the head of the Vampires' 'Mech repair and modifications crews. He served with the Tenth Lyran Guards on Skondia prior to the Clan invasion. He started working with the Silver Dragons Stables, but after several failures in 'Mechs he worked on, one of them that cost the life of a MechWarrior, he was forced to work for the Vampires. It is said that the Silver Dragons have a contract out on his life.[1]
Instructor
- Velma Jankara - Master Instructor
MechWarriors
14 Mechwarriors were fighting for Vampires Stables.
Known Mechwarriors
- Dick "The Blade" Benson - doubles as mechwarrior and stablemaster
- Velma Jankara - instructor and part time MechWarrior when needed
Others
Ghost
- Robby France - He is a spy that helped the stable rob a Sasquatch mech from VEST. He infiltrated as a Technician, so he has at least some skills on this.[5]
Facility
The Vampires have a small 'Mech-repair shop in Xolara that is gradually deteriorating as it is in dire economic straits.[1]
Notes
In 3055 - the stable has a 25% cut of its MechWarriors' winnings. The MechWarriors receive a 800 C-Bill salary a month. The Vampires have started cheating and thieving to make ends meet recently. The stable has 19 'Mechs. It is expected that Warrior magazine is expected to lower the stable's rating to a D or lower in the next annual review.[1]
