The ongoing fighting cost both sides many resources.[2] With the death of Roger Tandrek, the feud grew to a new level during the 3062 Riots where those clashes nearly left both Stables bankrupt.[3] Even in 3067 rarely a month goes by without at least one Zelazni-Tandrek grudge match being fought in the arenas.[4]

Zelazni Stables purchased two Porcupine 'Mechs, becoming the first major stable to put this machine through its paces in real combat. Unfortunately, after a less-than-stellar performance by one during a recent grudge match between Zelazni and Tandrek stables, Victor Zelazni has reportedly started looking for anyone interested in taking the other Porcupine off his hands.[5]
