Lancer Gladitorial League
The Lancer Gladitorial League is a professional sporting organization that originates from the Urean Kingdom, that focuses on gladiatorial combat between pilots of specialized walkers called Lancers. It has come to dominate the field in blood sports, which have, for the most part been greatly reduced in cultural relevance, and reduced largely to underground or highly localized events. Indeed, despite said galactic cultural trends the league has become one of the most influential sporting leagues and entertainment corporations in Civilized Space.
Structure
The Lancer Gladiatorial League operates 6 separate sub-leagues one for Civilized Space, one for the inner Jred Frontier, one for the inner Pardian Frontier, one for the Rift Frontier, one of the Quiet Frontier, and the last one "the Outlands League" is nominally for the outer frontier but operates in Civilized Space. Each sub-league is expected to operate on its own for the most part, however, once a decade, there is an event called the Galaxy Cup where the sub-leagues compete in a competition to send one of their teams to a League wide competition. Each subleague operates either twenty-four, forty-eight, or ninety-six Lancer teams that compete with each other on a monthly basis, when not in the run up to the Galaxy Cup. What passes as a central authority are is the LGLGC (Lancer Gladiatorial League Governance Commission), which establishes the rules that each team must follow, typically these are weapons restrictions and the like in order to minimize to some extent casualties from the competition.
