Cat's Paw

VEHICLE TYPE Personal aerospace combat craft OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Twin lasers DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES G-Diffuser system (unconfirmed) CREW Pilot only

INTEL Sources report seeing Katt Monroe—the current leader of the Free as a Bird gang—flying an advanced, one-of-a-kind starfighter known as the "Cat's Paw."

Katt was first seen piloting the craft following reports that one of Dr. Andross's patrols had ambushed her and severely damaged her original ship. Rumor has it that, in return, Katt stole a ship from Andross's fleet and then heavily modified it to suit her needs.

Eyewitness accounts indicate that the Cat's Paw is capable of executing advanced maneuvers comparable to those of an Arwing, including barrel rolls and somersaults. Analysts believe this performance points to the use of G-Diffuser technology. A long-time associate of ace pilot Falco Lombardi, Katt has most recently been seen flying the Cat's Paw into battle alongside Star Fox, the mercenary team Falco currently works for.

ASSESSMENT A powerful and nimble craft, the Cat's Paw remains something of an enigma. Active efforts to acquire more intel are underway.
