Details[edit]

The Solaris Stable Owners Association was an informal meeting table where the strongest Stables held informal meetings about the Solaris Games status trying to keep politics out of the equation, centering only in the Games and its related incidents.

Proposals could be raised in order for the Stables to reach an agreement, but the vote binded the Stables, not necessarily their fighters.[1]

Committees[edit]

  • The Compensation Committee, in 3056 it was formed by Thomas DeLon (from DeLon Stables), Roger Tandrek (from Tandrek Stables), and Winslow Kindt (from Skye Tigers Stables). The Committee had the power to suspend a stable's license if they found and verified corrupt activity relating to compensation of arena fighters. The compensation distribution formula was their most known active, and took in all income from purses, endorsements, and other bonuses and optional compensation plans to be factored in together to determine the compensation paid to the lower-echelon fighters within a Stable. The formula was put in place to guarantee that the warriors who didn't rank interstellar media attention could still profit from the Stables' compensation by the broadcasting networks.[2]

Known Meetings[edit]

  • There were several related to the hard times stable owners suffered after the Feeding Frenzy days of the Clan Invasion.[1]
  • The one conducted during the Civil War that tried to decide if the Games should kept themself out of the politics or if they tried to help pacifying the situation. They ended and they had been unable to reach an agreement and preferred to keep things as they were going on.[1]
  • A 3056 meeting with the objetive to put Kai Allard-Liao and Cenotaph Stables out of business by a technicality by abusing The compensation distribution formula.[2]

Members[edit]

Usually the seat at the table was taken by the stablemasters themselves, though some of them had specific middlemen going to the meetings instead of them. Some representatives of the Solaris City districts were sometimes invited and/or formed part of the system.

Known Members[edit]

This is a list of members who were representing some party but were not stablemasters themselves.

Traditions[edit]

  • There is a SSOA mid-tournament lunch held before the Day Five matches of the Grand Tournament when the playing field has been narrowed to the final eight attended usually only by those stablemasters or representatives that had Arena Gladiators still in the tournament.[1]
