Focusing primarily on combat between BattleMechs, the Solaris Games take place on Solaris VII, a rowdy frontier world on the border between House Steiner and House Marik. Solaris VII, the “Game World“, is known across the galaxy for its 'Mech fights. Gamblers place exorbitant amounts of money on long shot bets, and fortunes are won and lost daily. Solaris City, in particular, hosts six major arenas and numerous MechWarrior stables. Every year there is a Grand Tournament, which culminates with the naming of the year’s champion (notable champions include Gray Noton and Kai Allard-Liao). The Game World has long been a choice location to hire mercenaries. However, unlike Galatea or Outreach, many of those available for hire on Solaris VII are individual warriors rather than full mercenary commands. The quality of those available for hire on Solaris is good as the skills required to succeed in the arenas places those with winning records in high demand, but the employers must realize that they might be getting a prima donna, rather than a down-and-dirty warrior. In the end this means that Solaris MechWarriors possess greater independence and are more likely to breach contracts than their brethren of greater experience. MechWarriors from across known space will travel to Solaris to participate in the games, whether seeking fame and fortune or out of desperation, as do countless fans and tourists. The Solaris Games bring in substantial revenues for the planetary government and whichever realm controls the Solaris system, an incentive to ensure the games are carried out in an open and forthright manner. Nevertheless, the wealth to be gained in the games also attracts the unscrupulous elements of society, leading to occasional charges of fixed matches, skimmed prize money, and elimination of competitors outside of sanctioned fights. While most Mechwarriors in Solaris 7 matches come from across the Inner Sphere, the fighting stables are always on the hunt for new talent. Some MechWarriors will fight in smaller leagues or minor competitions as part of a Team. Such Teams also usually only fight in the collective matches (Team Matches, Tag-Team Matches and so on). While it is possible for some MechWarriors to gain success as lone gladiators in the Solaris Games, the system is set up to work against such competitors, encouraging most to join one of the above groups.
