Description[edit]
Victory Stables was created by Nashan Diversified in order to gain access not only to the Solaris VII armament market, but also to the mainstream competition circuit. This stable exists solely to promote the company's equipment and is, for the most part, a publicity stunt.[1]
Victory maintains a small training facility at Beggar's Hills, 100 km northeast of Solaris City. It consists of a large ferrocrete field, filled with walls, holoprojectors and sensors. The living areas are underground, in a reinforced bunker. The accommodations are confortable, although a bit spartan. They provide simulators and gyms to the MechWarriors, as well as viewrooms where they can review previous fights. There is an extensive databank on current Solaris Games fighters for MechWarriors to study on their future rivals.
Mock battles are also held in the forests nearby, and Victory has access to Nashan SolDesign's arena when no fights are scheduled. Because of its recording equipment and the simplicity of the battlefield, the arena is used to test new designs, weapons, and strategies.[1]
