The stable is known for its good reputation but lost influence because the feud with the [[Tandrek Stables]].

Zelazni Stables purchased two ''[[Porcupine]]'' 'Mechs, becoming the first major stable to put this machine through its paces in real combat. Unfortunately, after a less-than-stellar performance by one during a recent grudge match between Zelazni and Tandrek stables, Victor Zelazni has reportedly started looking for anyone interested in taking the other ''Porcupine'' off his hands.<ref name=TRO3055U-126>''Technical Readout 3055 Upgrade'', p.126 "PRC-1N PORCUPINE"</ref>

==Rules==
 
<div class="gamerules">
 
===Game Rules===
 
The Stable as of 3067 has access to B Rated Equipment.
 
  
Zelazni MechWarriors receive a -1 to-hit modifier for all physical attacks and a +1 bonus to all Piloting Skill Rolls.
+
==Game Notes==
  
Warriors from Zelazni can take careful aim with all weapons. In order to execute this maneuver they need to stand still and announce they are going to carefully aim rather than make an attack during the Weapons Attack Phase (and they are not forced to say at whom they are aiming). For each consecutive turn of careful aim the MechWarriors gain a -1 to-hit modifier (to a maximum of -3) to all direct-fire weapons mounted in a single location. If while aiming the MechWarriors fails a piloting roll, all the cumulative bonus are lost.<ref>''MapPack: Solaris VII'', p. 44 Rules/Stable-Specific Rules - Zelazni Stables special abilities</ref>
