Blue Snake crime syndicate
CharacterThe Blue Snake is an interplanetary criminal organization thought to operate out of Mars. Ruthless with anyone who betrays it, the syndicate hunts down a former consultant through his own family after learning he leaked its secrets years earlier.
Overview
Blue Snake is a crime syndicate whose reach spans the planets, with its base widely assumed to be on Mars. It fields agents and ships capable of pursuing targets across the solar system, and it guards its internal secrets with lethal seriousness.
Role
During the 2060s, Pao Pu-Zi worked as a leading advisor to the organization. Seeking a way out, he passed inside knowledge to ISSP detective Jet Black back in 2064. The betrayal stayed hidden until 2071, when the syndicate uncovered it and set out for revenge. Rather than chase Pao directly, its operatives shadowed his daughter, Meifa, gambling that she would lead them to her father. The manhunt collided with the Bebop when one syndicate craft trailed the ship into hyperspace, only for the crew to knock it out of commission.
Notable Members
Pao Pu-Zi once served as a major consultant to the group before turning informant against it. The syndicate dispatched two low-ranking agents to track Meifa and close in on her father, representing the organization's boots on the ground during the pursuit.
