Editing Atalan Jackal (section)

==Overview==
Like many of the Genestealer Cult's activities, Atalan Jackals operate under a shield of legitimacy. [[Pretend|Under the guise of scouts using industrial machinery to search out new seams and quarries,]] Jackals scout for their Cult and track out new territory with little notice. Even so, cultists always cover their tracks and Jackals live a nomadic lifestyle that sees them only return to their brood lairs when they have something of importance to report.

They are so named the Atalan because [[Derp|they ride a variety of rugged Atalan-class exploratory machines,]] of which the most common are [[Bike Squad#Genestealer Cults|Dirtcycles]] and four-wheeled [[Wolfquad|Wolfquads.]] As STC templates, just about every Imperial planet short of a Feral World would be expected to have a bunch of them lying around for use- they're built to last for decades or even centuries in almost any conceivable situation, are cheap to manufacture, and easily repaired, making them the [[lasgun]] of civilian industrial vehicles.
