Designer Notes
The Cheetah MP is a relatively recent addition to the Military Police arsenal, having been developed from the infantry clearing Gears of the last cycles of the War of the Alliance. The second machine used by the Northern Guard's Military Police, the Cheetah MP is designed for those jobs the larger Jaguar MP just cannot tackle. With awesome mobility and a slightly smaller size, the Cheetah MP is better suited for many police operations than its larger brother. The Military Police detachment in Valeria received its first five machines in the Spring of TN 1927. Other city-states have since started to receive theirs, though Shaian Mechanics has been notably slow in producing and delivering them. Those units that do have a mix of Jaguar MPs and Cheetah MPs often deploy the two types of Gears together in joint patrols, making a combination of speed, firepower, and electronic warfare capabilities available to the squadron. Cheetah MPs are often deoployed alone during SWAT-style assaults in confined urban surroundings, where their reduced size and maneuverability is a noted tactical advantage.
