Atom Cats

The Atom Cats is a minor faction dedicated to usage of power armor. They seem to reference the mid-1950s Greasers, with leather outfits and a hot rod-themed paint job for their power armor. They are often pressured by Gunners and raiders trying to steal their suits.

One of the named members Duke can be seen roaming throughout the wasteland, and upon dialogue marks the Atom Cats garage on the map.

Background
It is unknown as to why the faction started or where they sourced the large number of power armor suits, though it is likely at least some were retrieved from a military cargo barge half-sunk outside their garage. It is also likely that they found them the same way the Sole Survivor does, simply scattered throughout the game map. It is known that they have roaming scavengers that visit Atom Cats Garage from time to time, roughly every other day these random scavengers can be seen walking around at the Atom Cats garage.

These scavengers will sell the Atom Cats the armor they find for some amount of a rewards of caps. There is a large supply of T-60 power armor that is bought from the scavengers, also there's a random and unsteady amounts of T-45 and T-51 types coming into the garage from the scavengers. X-01 power armor is rarely found and brought to the Atom Cats though, it's not completely unheard of here (1% chance per reset cycle). Due to the steady supply of the T-60 power armor parts this is the standard armor type used by the Atom Cats. One of the explanations for how the Atom Cats sourced the scavengers work to get the suits is with the use of advertising Eyebots, due to eyebots being seen at the garage every now and again.

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 is mentioned to be deceased, Aimin' Andy, who was responsible for the "rockin tunes" now played in the garage.
