Hitman Corp is a mercenary faction operating in the Wildlands and the United Sectors. Under the command of former Black Sail member Katelyn Jones, Hitman Corp's mercenaries will stand with whoever is willing to pay more.

History
Being the last known survivor of the Black Sail Faction, Katelyn Jones abandoned the Conglomerate as Star Omega took over, and escaped to Sol. Being a well known criminal, she decided to hide in the Wildlands and continue to work as a raider with the remnants of Fortuna Rebels. With enough money and an Ares-A class ship, Fortuna started paying Katelyn to take out specific targets, escort convoys and such. When Iron Corporation first arrived, it was difficult to remain in the shadows, but Katelyn managed to get enough money to buy a few more ships and hire pilots from several pirate factions.

Officially founded in 2251, it took Hitman Corp until 2254 to finally build a military outpost in Sirest to serve as a base of operations. Continuing to evolve and gain more wealth and power, Hitman's military outpost was destroyed in 2256, when Templar Corporation settled in Sirest. They rebuilt their base in Diodartes, and are still in operation today. However, they face great difficulties against Templar.

Economy
Hitman Corp operates as a mercenary and bounty hunting faction. Taking targets from any faction, pirate or trader, even other mercenary factions, Hitman Corp is known to sometimes kill its own low ranking mercenaries to claim bounties they may have.

As mercenaries, Hitman mercenary services are cheaper than Templar's mercenaries, so Hitman still manages to gain credits by working for traders and scavengers with lower income.
