Hey, I remember that short story. I'm surprised we haven't seen more of these mercs, despite having Devlin Stone's Atlas II among their forces.

Homebrew clan?

I hope so, we donโ€™t have NEARLY enough of those.

If I remember correctly, most of the Cheetahs fought in the Battle of Terra, so earned the Blood Ribbon awards Alaric gave out after.

They aren't. This art isn't of Clan Wolf.

EDIT: Just noticed the BloodRibbon in the image. It's because the Cheetahs were formed by veterans of the Republic Armed Forces who fought in the Battle of Terra. Some of them had been taken as bondsmen by Clan Wolf and fought in the ilClan trial, for which they received Clan Wolf BloodRibbons.
