The '''Oonthrax Stables''' was one of the oldest stables on Solaris.
 
  
==History==
+
==Description==
Oonthrax has experienced both the highs and lows of the 'Mech games. In [[3021]], The Stable received a very lucrative offer by [[Brandon O'Leary]], CEO of [[Mountain Wolf BattleMechs]]: offering them a ''[[Merlin (BattleMech)|Merlin]]'' to publicize it, with the parts to repair it for free. However, the gladiator [[Do-Hyun Adeoye]] was soundly defeated two times piloting it, so O'Leary personally intervened, making sure Adeoye was trained, and he and his instructor, [[Cassandra Fox]], won a total victory piloting two ''Merlins'' at ''The Wreckoning''.<ref>''The Wreckoning''</ref>
+
The '''Oonthrax Stables''' was one of the oldest stables on Solaris.  
  
The Stable was by [[3051]] on a downslide without a champion for the previous ten years and their MechWarriors not considered the best. Hot newcomer [[Glenn Eddenhoffer]] had the potential to turn the trend around. The Stable had been offering especially generous contracts to attract new MechWarriors without much luck as the poor reputation of the Stable had been hampering the process.<ref name="SOLARISGMBp19">''Solaris VII: The Game World – Gamemaster's Book'', p. 19: "Oonthrax Stables"</ref>
+
In [[3056]] the Stable was bought by [[Ryan Steiner]] and changed its name to [[Skye Tigers Stables]]<ref name="AoR">"Assumptions of Risk"</ref>
  
Despite its purchase and renaming as the [[Skye Tigers Stables]], an Oonthrax Stables was operating in the years immediately preceding the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]]. While its relationship to the original Oonthrax Stables or the Skye Tigers was unknown, this Oonthrax was at the time the only stable to purchase [[Innovative Design Concepts]] CDG-2A model ''[[Cudgel]]'',<ref name=TRO3055U-166>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 166: "CDG-2A Cudgel"</ref> as well as having a warrior take part in the grand reopening of the [[FedCom Civil War]] damaged [[Steiner Stadium]].<ref name="SVIIMappakp18">''MapPack: Solaris VII'', p. 18: "Steiner Stadium, back in business"</ref>

==History==
 +
Oonthrax has experienced both the highs and lows of the 'Mech games. The Stable is currently ([[3051]]) on a downslide without a champion for the last ten years, and their current Mechwarriors are not considered the best. Hot newcomer '''Glenn Eddenhoffer''' may turn the trend around, but only time will tell.
