Description[edit]
Gilgamesh Stables is a new stable trying to grow in the complex Solaris VII world.
Rivera's Solaris City townhouse functions as the stables headquarters, the MechWarriors and technical staff are quartered at a chartered facility between Solaris City and Xolara. The facility only hosts enough 'Mech bays for twelve machines at a time. As they have more 'Mechs, this means the stables have to rotate the machines to repair them, which usually leads to issues between the MechWarriors to get their next ride repaired as quickly as possible so they can practice.[1]
The Stable has recently acquired a salvaged Zeus assault 'Mech, which leads many observers to suspect it will be soon hiring an assault 'Mech pilot.[2]
History[edit]
Gilgamesh Stables appeared on Solaris City scene in early 3010 after putting two of their gladiators in the Top 20 in both 3011 and 3012. The Stable Master enjoys watching his fighters from custom-décor boxes in every major arena, often inviting dignitaries from the Free Worlds League to watch with him. His fighters do not regard him so highly as four MechWarriors have bought out their contracts since February 3013, among them 3012's Number 18 Li Chien-lu.[3]

Tactics and Style[edit]
Gilgamesh trains pilots in one school of combat: pound the enemy to scraps with as much firepower as possible as Hector Rivera decreed one rule when he formed the stable: victory.
To date the stable's tactics have been marginally successful, but the instructors have had to adjust their training to adapt to the different battlefields of Solaris City arenas. Erica Boise is trying to make the stable adopt a tactic she calls Bulwark: a 'Mech positions itself behind a terrain obstacle and uses superior gunnery to overcome its opponents. This works if the 'Mech is powerful enough, but against mobile enemies, the machine is often flanked and overrun.[11]
