Description
Sanctuary Worlds combat doctrine normally dictates sharp and focused engagements, but during their history a need for a deep raider design was recognized. In response to this need, the Jacobson Haven developed the Cheetah and it eventually spread through the Sanctuary Worlds in general. Powered by an extremely powerful 250-rated XL engine and built with Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous construction materials, the Cheetah is extremely fast and can bring any weapons to bear immediately. The CHE-4F carries a simple loadout of 4 Small Modal Lasers and 2 Small Electro-Lasers, which while light is enough to slice through most similarly fast combat units.

Description
After its introduction by the Jacobson Haven, the Cheetah proved an immediate success among the Sanctuary World armies and led to a variety of refits and variants. A fairly minimalist field refit that was effective enough to become an official variant was the CHE-4M. The -4M simply strips the Small Laser battery and replaces it with four Medium Electro-Lasers, two in each arm. An extra DHS helps manage the heat. The swap to the Mediums increases the mech's striking power significantly while also increasing its range somewhat, making the -4M a popular choice among pilots.

Description
After its introduction by the Jacobson Haven, the Cheetah proved an immediate success among the Sanctuary World armies and led to a variety of refits and variants. An early variant was the CHE-5F which shifted the mech's engine to a 225-rated XL in exchange for gaining a little heavier firepower than the stock -4F. Armed with 4 Small Electro-Lasers and a pair of Small Lances as well as a pair of DRM-2s, the CHE-5F was significantly more dangerous than its predecessor, even if slightly slower. The armor remained unchanged, as did the advanced construction materials.

Description
After its introduction by the Jacobson Haven, the Cheetah proved an immediate success among the Sanctuary World armies and led to a variety of refits and variants. A somewhat more serious rebuild of the mech, the CHE-6G reduces the engine size to a somewhat slower 200-rated XL engine. It uses the gained tonnage to increase the firepower significantly, packing a Large Electro-Laser in the right arm and twin Gatling Guns in the left arm. While slower and no better armored than other Cheetahs, it hits significantly harder which has a value all its own.
