(This is a unit that, someday, I'll actually get to play. For now it's just a fun idea, but if I can ever find a campaign for well, they're in.)
The Felis Domini are a sixteen-member all-female special-operations team of the Ebon Magistrate. They were formed in 3073 by an E.M. officer taking the name of Linith Chen, a Capellan-born woman who emigrated to the Magistracy in 3060 and joined the MIM in 3063. A quick series of successful operations, as well as a readiness to undergo the significant body modifications, brought her to the attention of the Ebon Magistrate in 3066. Not long after recieving her enhanced prosthetics, the Blakists began their jihad against the Inner Sphere.
Captain Chen, eschewing typical warfare methods, led a team of guerillas against the Blakist occupiers on Canopus IV for years during the occupation. They specialized in night raids and bombings, and were proficient in BattleMech operations. The group of raiders originally had no particular name, but after several tangles with the enhanced humans of the Blakist Manei Domini, and citing their commander's prosthetic cat ears and tail (taken as a cosmetic affectation soon after emigration), the group dubbed themselves the Felis Domini as a means of mocking their opponents.
After the Word of Blake was driven from the Magistracy in 3075, the Felis Domini - entirely staffed by Ebon Magistrate operatives with full enhancements - began mopup operations and hunting down pockets of the remaining Manei Domini in the Magistracy of Canopus. The unit remains at its 16-member strong number, citing the smaller size as "large enough to ensure victory in special operations and small enough to be a proper fast-response force."
As of the end of 3075, the unit has recieved a number of newer operatives to replace losses from the high-risk missions that they have participated in. As part of the unit's tradition of taking false names, and in what appears to have been a legendary intelligence operations tradition dating back over a thousand years, each position within the unit has its own name - even if one dies, their replacement will maintain the same name.
Whether or not the Linith Chen that currently runs the unit is the same Linith Chen who started it is not open to debate.
