Description
Since their formation the Silver Dragons ranked amongst the top Kuritan stables.[1] The Stable is based in Kobe.[2]
History
The stable was formed in 3024.[2]
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 times of Theodore Gross, the stable was founded by Anna Nevil. The stable, led by his nephew in 3067 is known for his ironclad contracts, complete loyalty to House Kurita and scrupulously fair treatment of the stable's MechWarrior.[3]
During the Jihad several Silver Dragon MechWarriors joined the Solaris Home Defense League.[4]
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 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 Dragon's had done it, though maybe not one hundred percent as they would have liked.[5]
