PREDATOR began as a small group of elite hunters, expanding rapidly from success in high-stakes contracts. Their rapid growth has been a subject of speculation within the sector. While PREDATOR maintains its reputation through legitimate contracts, rumors persist about Verena Kael's possible connections to the Blackline network. The sophisticated nature of PREDATOR's equipment and their extensive resources suggest powerful backing, though the true source of their influence remains unclear.
As a legitimate producer of advanced hunting technology and equipment, PREDATOR's operations intersect with both official trade channels and shadowy networks. Their signature black and grey designs became widely recognized, making their products highly sought after in both legitimate and underground markets. While VISION collaborates with PREDATOR for specialized missions, they maintain vigilant oversight of the organization's activities, particularly given the current climate of illegal weapons trade through the Blackline.
Predators value skill, bravery, and efficiency. They have a strong culture of mentorship, where experienced hunters train the rookies, but it's always with an edge of competition. Rising through the ranks is based solely on merit; the best hunters earn the most respect and authority.
Verena Kael, a legendary bounty hunter with a mysterious past, leads this faction and funds much of its operations. Kael has transformed Predator into a prominent force in the hunting industry. Her leadership style is hands-on and driven by results. She often personally oversees high-profile missions and mentors promising recruits.
VISION often seeks their services for specialized missions, while other factions, like Sparx and QuoTek, contract them for security and retrieval operations. Their activities can stir conflict with conservation efforts led by Flō, particularly when contracts involve rare or protected species.
PREDATOR produces the most advanced hunting tech such as weaponry, tracking devices, and capture gear. It has several facilities on Mars, but its headquarters, the Den, is a space station orbiting Mars. The guild’s arsenal includes a variety of hunting weapons. Their primary weapons consist of high-precision rifles, compound bows, and specialized hunting spears designed for different prey types. For close-range encounters, they manufacture reliable sidearms like pistols and revolvers. The company is also known for its innovative restraint systems and traps, which are designed to capture targets with minimal damage.
All PREDATOR equipment maintains their signature black and grey color scheme, featuring modular designs that allow for quick customization in the field. Their weapons are known for incorporating advanced tracking and targeting systems, making them highly effective tools for professional hunters.
