Description
Vampires Stable is a non-affiliated 'Mech fighting stable based on Solaris VII, with House Davion/House Steiner leanings.
History
The Vampires were a rising stable for almost two years, but a string of losses cost the stable most of its profit 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 moved to Xolara, but additional issues and stealing charges 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]
Following their spectacular loss to VEST and the increasingly evidence they were engaged underworld work, the Vampires Stable reportedly collapsed. 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]
Stable Master and Owners
- Dick Benson[1]
Notable Personnel
- 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]
- Velma Jankara, a former MechWarrior with House Kurita's elite Second Sword of Light, recently took on the role of the Vampires' instructor. Crippled after severe battle injuries and only able to get out of her wheelchair for a few hours a day, she still pilots a BattleMech like the elite MechWarrior she is. With the Vampires' financial difficulties, she has even stepped into the arenas herself to provide a victory for the stable.[1]
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. It is expected that Warrior magazine is expected to lower the stable's rating to a D or lower in the next annual ratings.[1]
