The water-hauling company that owns the Canterbury and now orders its surviving employees toward Martian custody.
Pur'n'Kleen Water Company operates the ice-hauling loop between Saturn and the Belt, including the Canterbury and its shuttle Knight. After the Canterbury's destruction, its Saturn Station legal counsel emphasizes the political damage from James Holden's broadcast and orders the survivors to cooperate with the Martian Congressional Republic Navy aboard the Donnager. The company threatens to terminate their contracts and prosecute them for possession of the Knight if they refuse.
Pur'n'Kleen's fleet consists of aging industrial ice haulers and their support craft; its authority now reaches the survivors through a lawyer's recorded message from Saturn Station.
Pur'n'Kleen is the survivors' employer and an increasingly unreliable source of legal protection.
