Contents
Description
The stables lost most of their influence after the assassination of Ryan Steiner, a great supporter.
History
Only after the financial investment of a wealthy business man saved the stable from ruin. Again on the road to success it takes a long run to earn the respect of the others again.
Operations
Leadership
Stable owner James Stroud was a junior officer in the Seventeenth Skye Rangers and has lead the stable since 3057.[2] Stroud operates the Skye Tigers like a military unit, and is rumored to use any means necessary - ethical or otherwise - to ensure the survival and success of his stable.[1]
Notable Personnel
Technicians
- Maria Utley - chief tech of Oonthrax and one of the few Oonthrax staff to remain following its conversion into the Skye Tigers, Utley was still with the Tigers as 3062.[3] Utley is an accomplished tech, known for ranting against the MechWarriors that abuse their 'Mechs.[4]
MechWarriors
As of 3067, the Skye Tigers Stable had ten MechWarriors under contract. Unsavory rumors persist that some Skye Tiger contracts contain hidden "slavery clauses".[1] [5]
Known MechWarriors
- Erik Gray
- Erin Hoffman[6]
- Glenn Edenhoffer[1]
- Torrence Klein - Piloted a Barghest, killed 15 August 3062 during the Riots of 3062.[7]
