Shepard: "Did you get anything on the mercenaries who attacked us?"
Liara: "They're a private military corporation called CAT6. As most of you know, CAT6 is an Alliance nickname for dishonorable discharges. Many have criminal records, histories of steroid abuse, and other charming features."
~ Shepard and Liara

CAT6 is a supporting antagonistic faction introduced in the Citadel DLC of Mass Effect 3.

CAT6 is a private military corporation which helped the Clone plotting an assassination attempt on Commander Shepard during their shore leave on the Citadel.

Biography[]

Origins[]

Their name is derived from the term "Category 6", which is used for soldiers who were dishonorably discharged from the Systems Alliance. The mercenaries are confirmed to have extensive criminal records and histories of steroid abuse.

The mercenaries are known to name their squads after sharp objects. Examples include Dagger, Hatchet and Rapier Squads, and an elite contingent among them is known as Razor Squad.

Mass Effect 3: Citadel[]

In 2186, CAT6 is hired by the Clone and ex-Cerberus operative Maya Brooks to assassinate the real Commander while Shepard and their crew go on shore leave at the Citadel, as well as sending their Alliance Navy frigate, SSV Normandy SR-2, to the station's dry dock for much-needed repairs and retrofits.

They first make an attempt to kill Shepard at a popular sushi restaurant but fail and Shepard escapes. They later intercept the Commander and the squad when they infiltrate the Archives, where the Clone reveals itself as the mastermind behind the plot. As Shepard pursues the Clone, the CAT6 soldiers make numerous attempts to slow the Commander down.

After trapping Shepard and the squad inside a vault and leaving them to die in the Archives, the Clone and Brooks hijack the Normandy along with their CAT6 army. However, when Shepard and the squad escape the Archives and manage to sneak aboard the ship, the Clone instructs the soldiers to stall the Commander while it heads down to the armory for a final confrontation.

As Shepard and the Clone fight in a pitched battle in the hanger bay, Brooks and the CAT6 soldiers begin providing backup for the Clone. However, Shepard manages to defeat both the soldiers and the Clone, with the latter falling to its death from the Normandy. None of the soldiers who fought against Shepard survive; save for the one piloting the Normandy, who is subdued by security drones directed by the ship's AI entity, EDI.
