By far the most well-known and respected pro-Kurita stable on Solaris even more than [[DeLon Stables]] which got the Coordinator's favor in the time of [[Theodore Gross]] the stable was founded by Anna Nevil. The stable, led by her nephew in 3067, was known for its ironclad contracts, complete loyalty to [[House Kurita]] and scrupulously fair treatment of the stable's MechWarriors.<ref name=MPSVII-29>''MapPack: Solaris VII'', p. 28: "Stables of Solaris VII - Silver Dragons Stables"</ref>

In the aftermath of the failed [[Clan Nova Cat]] rebellion, the Silver Dragon Stables vowed to eradicate any gladiators using Nova Cat equipment. Beginning with [[Avanishi Khalsa]] and her ''[[Cave Lion]]'', they systematically worked their way through the games with deadly determination. Four more MechWarriors fell to the Dragons' vendetta until only [[Burkhard Schlömer]] remained. Bribery of the [[Solaris Gaming Commission|gaming commissioners]] resulted in Schlömer facing four Silver Dragon 'Mechs in the tunnels of [[Ishiyama]]. Schlömer won the match after a full day of fighting, but his 'Mech was ruined. The Silver Dragons had succeeded, though maybe not as fully as they might have liked.<ref name="TRO:3150p170">''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 170: "Cave Lion"</ref>
