Description[edit]
Ice Giants Stables only hire citizens from Rasalhague, thus keeping the stable small, but they were considered the most passionate fighters on the planet. Though there were rumors that the stable was a terrorist front, Garth Anderson strongly denied that. He issued a warning to any Clan warrior who was fighting in the arenas: "Expect a bloodbath any time you fight the Ice Giants".[1]
History[edit]
The Ice Giants are citizens from Rasalhague who refused to acknowledge the Ghost Bear Dominion. They first appeared in Solaris in 3084 and by 3085 they were already fighting in Class Six matches.[1]

Tactics and Style[edit]
Ice Giants tactics can be descried as "close and hose". They favor arenas with a lot of cover like The Factory or The Jungle. They are known to go all-out, never acknowledging defeat unless the 'Mech is crippled or the MechWarrior is seriously injured. Their hatred of Clanners is well-known, especially for the Ghost Bears, though until now it has not been tested as no match between them and any Clan pilot has been scheduled. With the troubles arising now on Solaris, no one wants to be the one to start another round of blood feuds.[10]
Facilities[edit]
An old factory complex on the edge of the city's Silesia sector near the river is used as their base. One warehouse serves as the 'Mech hangar and repair bay, while what was the main factory now acts as a training area. The living quarters are basic as they use the old worker housing. The place is heavily guarded with plenty of armed KungsArmé veterans patrolling the place. Garth Anderson lives at the complex, leaving only to arrange matches, give interviews, or attend parties.[11]
