Description

This Stable is loyal to the Duchy of Andurien, not the Free Worlds League, making it a sword enemy of other stables aligned with the FWL. The Stable is based in Montenegro.[1]

History

The Stable was formed in 3048.[1]

The unit has a longstanding feud with the Bromley Stables and supports any stable who has difficulties with them. There is a theory that since 3052 there has been some inter-stable sabotage which have resulted in some lost fights for Fitzhugh, though fans enjoy the fights between both Stables.

Many believe the death of Thaddeus Fitzhugh is an indirect result of the fight between these two factions. His son, André Fitzhugh become the owner after his father'sw death.[2]
