The Steamwheedle Cartel is the largest and most successful of the Goblin Cartels in Undermine. It is a Neutral Organization that controls several cities and towns around the world, and has allied themselves with a number of other groups such as the Blackwater Raiders in Booty Bay. The Steamwheedle Cartel has made a great deal of profit from maintaining neutrality in the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. Their services are always available to the highest bidder, and they employ anyone regardless of their affiliation if they can produce results. They run Ratchet for their parent company.

[edit] Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore!

[edit] Relationship with the Venture Company

Some fans speculate that the Steemwheedle Cartel has some members with internal conflicts of interest. Members of the Cartel sometimes give quests that go against some Venture Company's operations, and also are not as hostile as their parent company. However in the RPG the Venture Co is not as hostile as it is portrayed in the game, and is an independent group that has its hands in almost everything including a sizeable ownership of Ratchet, and Undermine. However even in the RPG, it also has branches in various locations that are hostile to other groups, usually in Horde lands.

[edit] Naming

It may be named after the Goblin Tinker Ratso Steamwheedle, a neutral hero in Warcraft III.
