Designer Notes
Designed late in the war of the Alliance as a light strike gear, the sTalking Cheetah quickly proved itself a far better dedicated hunter/killer. Equally capable of passing behind enemy lines as it was of lurking in ambush, the dedicated sniper system linked to the already exceptional Sergon Optics A-13 Redeye sniper laser cannon provided the Gear with precision weapons capability, while the Cheetah's excellent maneuverability gave the pilot the ability to quickly exit the target area and avoid any counter strikes. A vehicle of the Stalking Cheetah's talents (and production cost) was not to be wasted on just any target of opportunity, however. The deadly accuracy of the REdeye appealed immediately to the commanders of the Northern Guard's special forces units and they recieved almost all of the Stalking Cheetahs produced during the war years. They continue to account for the lion's share of the units produced.
