The Stable was formed in [[2907]].<ref name=RS3055U/>

The Stable was able to navigate the complex [[3050]]s and early [[3060]]s though nevertheless they suffered losses in the [[3062]] Solaris Riots.<ref name=MPS7-31>''Mappack: Solaris VII'', p. 30 "Stables of Solaris VII - White Hand Stables"</ref>

The Stable merged with [[Banshees Stables]] on [[3071]], announced by Jason Bloch<ref name=JHS3072p55>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p.55 "Game Over"</ref> with [[Tanya O'Bannon]] in charge. After that sometimes the stable was called Banshee-Gemini Stables.<ref name=ETR-Gp1>''Experimental Technical Readout: Gladiators''</ref>

* [[Fiona Louden]] leads the Stable with skill and a fair treatment of her personal. Approaching 65 in [[3067]], she is known for the virtually unbreakable contracts that she forces upon her MechWarriors and her ''carrot-and-stick approach'' which pampers those who perform well while those who continuously fail are shipped to backwater blood pits to fade away. But to date no MechWarrior on her Stable has ever complained on her. She is known even to support exemplary MechWarriors that leave her stable. The most known example was when Elizabeth O'Bannon and Tanya O'Bannon left to create their own stable [[Gemini Stables]], she considers her friendly competitors.<ref name=MPS7-31/>

A veteran of the [[War of 3039]], she lost her right arm in that conflict.  Having it replaced by bionic substitute, she retired from mercenary work while her luck lasted.  She found work under Fiona Louden. Stern believer in displining her charges, she became to be known as Taskmaster. Queenie believed that instilling discipline into her students would keep them from losing their lives in battle.<ref>''Solaris VII: Game Master Book'' p. 16 - Snap-shot of profile for the White Hand's trainer.</ref>

==Notes==
 
==Notes==
In [[3053]] the Stable has a 20% cut of winning gained by its MechWarriors and the MechWarriors receive a 1.000 C-Bill salary a month. These contracts are noted for being long term & unbreakable.  MechWarriors are treated in luxury, but should they not live up to the stables' standard, they would be shuffled away back to lower ranking arenas where grunt work is done.<ref name=S7GBp16 />
