Atom Cats

The Atom Cats are a minor faction , dedicated to the usage of power armor. They draw inspiration from mid-1950s Greasers, with leather outfits and a hotrod-themed paint job for their power armor. They are often harassed by Gunners and raiders who are trying to steal their suits.
One of the named members, Duke, can be found roaming throughout the Commonwealth. Upon interaction with the Sole Survivor, he will mark the Atom Cats garage on their map.
==Background==
They have roaming scavengers visiting the garage roughly every other day to sell the Atom Cats the armor they find. The Atom Cats buy a large amount of T-60 power armor from the scavengers, as well as unsteady amounts of T-45 and T-51 units. X-01 power armor is rarely found (roughly 1% chance per reset cycle), though it's not unheard of. Due to the steady supply of the T-60 power armor parts, this is the standard armor type used by the Atom Cats.
Zeke states that he single-handedly slew a pack of feral ghouls once to claim the garage. He then assembled a group and showed them "the way of cool." One member, Aimin' Andy, is mentioned to be deceased, and was responsible for the "rockin tunes" now played in the garage.Atoms Cats garage terminal entry, The Legend of Zeke- More Ideas, Paragraph 4: "Chapter in Memoriam of AIMIN' ANDY, the Cat we lost too soon. ANDY found all the rockin' TUNES that we play in the garage to this day. USE THIS LINE: He will live on in our HEARTS and in our JUKEBOX."
==Interactions with the player character==
The Atom Cats offer a set of power armor for purchase, as well as membership upon completion of a quest to repair the pump at the nearby Warwick homestead and assistance defending against a Gunner attack.
When the Atom Cats begin to like the player character, the latter receives a discount in the store, in form of Friend of The Cats perk.
==Notes==
* The Atom Cats' outfit can be purchased from a trader east of Walden Pond, even before any interaction with the group.
* Duke can be found wandering far from the Atom Cats garage, traveling to a single abandoned suit of power armor. He can also be interacted with, giving the miscellaneous objective "Check out the Atom Cats."
* Sturges is a friend of some of the Atom Cats, according to his terminal entry in Quincy.
==Appearances==
The Atom Cats appear only in Fallout 4.
==Behind the scenes==
* The Greaser sub-culture of the 1950s and 1960s was the direct inspiration for the Atom Cats, as well as other similar groups like the Tunnel Snakes of Fallout 3, or the Kings of Fallout: New Vegas.
** The Atom Cats refer to the Sole Survivor as "Jack", which was a slang term referring to outsiders among members of the greaser subculture.
** The way that the Atom Cats treasure and take extremely good care of their power armor mirrors the popularity of hot-rod or motorcycle modifying among actual Greasers of the 1950's and 60's.
** Some of the beta Atom Cats logos (the ones that feature "Boston" in a bottom rocker) resemble the logo pattern used for many American motorcycle clubs, which originated out of the Greaser subculture.
