Description[edit]
A Clan operated Solaris VII Stables. The Stable was named after the Clan tradition of zellbrigen. Only Clan Warriors are eligible to be members of this stable. The Stable is based in Cathay.[1]
History[edit]
The Stable was formed in 3062.[1] Zellbrigen Stables was formed by disgruntled Clan Jade Falcon warriors from their embassy based in the Cathay section of Solaris City. Several of these warriors challenged number of contenders to publicized duels. These warriors challenged the contenders to vent their frustrations of being stationed on Solaris VII. The Falcons disdained the glamorization of dueling and wanted to prove their superiority over mere "showmen" like the warriors of Solaris. The victories in these matches reaped the stable fame and respect. However, the stable's members were not able to handle the glamorous lifestyle that comes with fighting on Solaris, and even worse, they could not adapt to the less-glamorous deal-making side of the business. The stable was on the brink of collapse after its first matches when a Diamond Shark Bloodnamed warrior and former Merchant Caste, Marcin Hammond, stepped in and took over the "management" of the stables.
Since taking over the administration side of Zellbrigen's operations, Hammond stabilized its situation and allowed it to prosper. Since then, warriors from various Clans have appeared in matches under the Zellbrigen Stables banner. By late 3067, an unofficial rivalry had sprung up between Zellbrigen Stables and the Huntsmen Stables.[2]
The Stable was the leading hand that led to the creation of the Prowler.[3]
The Jihad hit hard the stable, and in the post-Word of Blake Solaris only three pilots were left fighting for Zellbrigen.[4]
Even though this hardship, the Stable survived into the Dark Age, with one of their Gladiators, Ronald Ghost Bear, becoming two year consecutive winner of the Grand Championship.[5]
