In 3056 Oonthrax Stables was bought by Ryan Steiner and changed its name to Skye Tigers Stables[1] The Skye Tigers Stables is a Solaris VII-based BattleMech stable known for its loyalty to the Lyran Alliance's Skye Province and Free Skye Movement.[2]
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
When the Stable was bought by Ryan Steiner he set as Stable Master a loyal server: Winslow Kindt.[1]
Stable owner James Stroud, also known as Jerry Stroud, was a junior officer in the Seventeenth Skye Rangers and has lead the stable since 3057.[3] 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.[2]
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.[4] Utley is an accomplished tech, known for ranting against the MechWarriors that abuse their 'Mechs.[5]
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".[2] [6]
Known MechWarriors
- Glenn Edenhoffer[2]
- Erik Gray
- Erin Hoffman[7]
- Torrence Klein - Piloted a Barghest, killed 15 August 3062 during the Riots of 3062.[8]
- Heinrich Strasser[9]
- Victor Vandergriff[2] [10]
Other
- Achillus St. John - A Lyran national who provided extensive information to the Word of Blake, which allowed them to destroy the stable.[11]
Tactics and Style
The Skye Tigers do not have any specific tactics, aside from a heavy reliance upon advanced technology to carry the day. Thanks to the lavish support of certain Skye-based "special interest groups", the Stable maintains enough advanced components to ensure they can maintain all their 'Mechs in fighting trim.[2]
