| Designer Notes |
| The "N" version is a limited production sub-variant, and was designed expressively for night fighting. Like other night fighting Gear variants, most of the modifications involved were intended to reduce the walker's sensor signature -- the basic sensors mounted on the Striek series are generally sufficient to pierce the darkness without additional upgrades. Engineers went over the vehicle to cut emissions as much as possible, making the Gear hearder ot distinguish on sensors. A special muffler, based on "Whsipserdeath" technology, was installed in the backpack to reduce the teperature of the exhuast by mixing it with great quantities of outside air. The shape of the intake and fan-shaped exhaust has been specially studied to ensure that the movement of the gases makes as little noise as possible. Bearings and other articulations have been replaced to eliminate noise, and the entire hull was covered with several grades of thermal, non-reflective paint. These modifications make the vehicle much more discrete and enhance its chances of passing undetected in night conditions. Night Cheetahs are used almost exclusively by elite units like the Cat's Paws regiment. |
