Captain of the FSS-CH9, Amaya Solace is the daughter of a high-ranking admiral from the Felinius Kingdom and the youngest person ever appointed captain of a Felinoid Smartship. Hard-nosed and tough as nails, she constantly struggles to prove herself and her team among the Squadron forces, many of whom assume she received her post through nepotism. Despite the general mistrust of her throughout the squadron, she has a reputation for being a fierce fighter, albeit with a history of insubordination and inability to follow orders. Prior to her commission as captain, she served with the CH-13. Extended Bio

Bambii Springs
Bambii is the current pilot of the FSS-CH7. Despite being a member of a SNAT that most Hellcats consider “cursed,” Bambii generally maintains a cheerful demeanor and optimistic attitude. She is prone to falling in love very easily with the men that she dates. Unfortunately these men seem to frequently meet untimely ends. As such, she has not quite yet found the soulmate that she has been searching for. Bambii recently lost her left arm in a Swamp Zombie attack. It was replaced by a bionic prosthesis designed by Sarah.

Fluffy
Fluffy is the Artificial Intelligence that controls the shipboard computer of the FSS-CH9. Like all felinoid smartships, the neural network that forms his AI is sentient and capable of independent thought, learning and emotion. This design is intended to make the smartship feel a kinship with the team by causing it to consider itself a member of the team. However, while most smartships become attached and protective of their crew, the constant danger that the CH-9 tends to face through the team’s relative inexperience and general recklessness has caused Fluffy to treat them with some amount of disdain. In particular, he is rather antagonistic of Damsel and Sarah, whom (as pilot and engineer) he blames for the majority of his perils, and Andrew, whom he considers to be an inferior artificial intelligence.

Hindenburg
Hindenburg is the Artificial Intelligence that controls the shipboard computer of the FSS-CH7. Like all felinoid smartships, the neural network that forms his AI is sentient and capable of independent thought, learning and emotion. This design is intended to make the smartship feel a kinship with the team by causing it to consider itself a member of the team. Unlike Fluffy, who basically rejects this programming, Hindenburg follows it to an extreme, being willing to sacrifice himself for the crew in even the most benign and trivial crisis. Because of this, the hull of the ship has been destroyed or in need of substantial repair more times than any other smartship in the fleet.

Katt Tuesday
Katty Tuesday was an intelligent and pretty but naive girl when she enrolled in the Academy for Science Soldiers. There she met her roommates and best friends, Amaya Solace and Nikki Kitai as well as her boyfriend Marko Cain and another good friend Tybalt Prince. After a fight between Tybalt and Marko where Tybalt revealed his long time crush on Katt and Marko revealed that he was... a creep... Katt became disillusioned with the Cosmic Hellcats and dropped out of school. She developed a harder edged personality and moved to Epsilon City on Kaneon-3 where she began working as an exotic dancer until she met and fell in love with private detective and bounty hunter, Yellow Dawg. The two now work together as partners.

Minerva Henderson
At age seventeen, Minerva won the prestigious beauty title of Miss Felinius and went on to win runner-up in the Miss Cosmos contest, losing the title to Miss Rigel. Believing the contest to be rigged by the then cosmos-controlling forces of the Rigel Empire, Minerva joined the Rebellion and fought as a member of the Meowing Commandos. Although she never managed to prove that the Miss Cosmos competition was fixed, she did help the Rebellion win the war and went on to serve with the CH-13 afterwards. Today, she is married to her fellow Commando, Horace and the two have retired from active military duty to run a chain of pizza and donut restaurants. The couple has one daughter, Charlie, who currently serves aboard the CH-7.

Nikki "Shipwrecks" Kitai
Nicolette Kitai served as a cadet amongst the legendary CH-13 along with Amaya and Chaste. While generally considered to be a less than effective soldier, she, along with the other cadets, was instrumental in the defeat of legendary space pirate Gorthon Z’Rxnrz. When Amaya was given her own command, the Squadron decided not to transfer Nikki along with Chaste and Amaya to the CH-9 because they considered her lesbian crush on Amaya to be a liability. Instead she was transferred to the CH-7, which she eventually became captain of, primarily through the mysterious deaths of her crewmates until she was the ranking officer. Because of her constant misfortune, other members of the Squadron often derisively refer to her as “Shipwrecks.”

Yellow Dawg
Yellow Dawg is a lifelong native of Epsilon City, the dirtiest, toughest, meanest, most corrupt place in the universe, and if you say any different, someone will stab you. Despite being raised amidst constant corruption, Dawg has an intense (yet cynical) system of ethics and code of honor and has become a bounty hunter and private investigator with a soft spot for hard luck cases. While he is not above working outside the law, he does attempt to not disregard it without good reason. He is in love with Katt Tuesday, a former Cosmic Hellcat and former stripper that he saved when she was attacked in a bar. He has since made Katt his partner and the two still work and live together in Epsilon City.

This concludes the Da Kitty Code storyline. Our regularly scheduled Hellcat Cosmos will appear on Saturday, and then we’ll have our annual guest week with some alternate takes on Hellcats from some great artists. After that, return here for a brand new direction starting April 16th!
couldn’t decide which comment to go with so here are all of them…
…wouldn’t female dogs be more appropriate for delivering a sandwich?
i guess we know who the hero of the story is…
to “be” or “to on this team” that is the question….
Oops… that’s a typo. And this strip has already been sent to the printer. *sigh* Oh well.
s’all good. history is filled with typos, and they add character the the story. the are easter eggs. besides perfection is boring
that reminds me, Da Kitty Code will soon be available for purchase in paper comic form. In addition, there will be a new Anthology with all kinds of extras just like the first Anthology and an all new print-only, adults only, Katt & Dawg story. They’re all at the printer now and will be in the Hellcat Bookstore with our other print books soon. When they are, there will be an announcement on the main blog, but until then I figured loyal Hellcat fans will want to know so they can save up their pennies.
hopefully i find a job soon because i really want a copy
