Description
Along with Overlord Stables, Starlight holds the highest ranking available. All of Starlight's MechWarriors are treated fairly.[1] The Stable is based in Black Hills.[2]
History
Starlight was formed in 2898.[2]
After a series of setbacks during the 3040s, the stable's fortunes improved. During the FedCom Civil War, their MechWarriors were allowed to join the pro-Davion alliance. Starlight had several clashes with the other Davion stable, Blackstar Stables, but nevertheless joined forces around Michael Searcy.[1] When it seemed that Blackstar Stables was going to dissolve, they were even able to pick up a few recruits.[3]
Starlight survived into the Dark Age, and one of its MechWarriors, Levi Haynes, was a 3135 Solaris VII Grand Tournament finalist.[4]
