Cofax / MeatHook

Cofax is a mercenary working for the Mercenaries' Guild in the second system and beyond. Cofax will contact you once you arrive in the second system. Speaking to Juno first is not a requirement, but you may need to have begun the mission to break her out from Doublejack custody. Cofax will hail you and invite you to discuss a mission. She will not meet you in the Mercenaries' Guild's station, but in a Militia station in the same system.

Meathook is the Red Devil Cartel counterpart of Cofax that appears when your reputation with Red Devil is better (further citation needed) than the player's reputation with the Militia. When the conditions are met, Meathook will appear instead of Cofax and will direct you to the nearby Red Devil station for the same missions Cofax provides.(further research needed)
