Corporacao Do Gato Preto

Black Cat · Corporaçõ do Gato Preto

A Ceres import-export concern and suspected criminal front implicated in moving stolen Star Helix riot gear off station.

Story so far

Corporaçõ do Gato Preto, known as Black Cat, presents itself as an import-export business on Ceres. Miller had previously investigated it as a possible front for the Loca Greiga criminal network without securing proof.

Evidence supplied by Anderson Dawes shows that fictitious Star Helix personnel signed riot gear out to a Ceres dock while a Black Cat freighter was berthed there. Its docking logs indicate the ship later arrived at Ganymede lighter than expected after a longer-than-predicted transit, suggesting the gear and likely personnel were transferred to another vessel en route. The company is therefore a concrete link between Ceres's disappearing criminal order and an off-station armed operation.

Appearance

The faction is represented by working freighters, warehouse logistics, dock paperwork, and the unobtrusive commercial face of an import-export firm rather than a public headquarters.

Role

Black Cat is the suspected criminal conduit through which stolen Ceres security equipment leaves the station.
