Coop was a belter refugee from Ganymede.
Biography[]
Coop was a member of the Outer Planets Alliance on Ganymede.
Throughout the series[]
“A new world” — Coop is one of the refugees aboard the Barbapiccola when it runs the UN blockade at the Sol gate, and makes it past the blockade and through the Ilus gate.[1]
With the arrival of the Edward Israel at Ilus and the shuttle of Earth researches preparing to land, Lucia sets explosives that she herself wired at the shuttle landing site, accompanied by the other Belter conspirators, including Coop. Their goal is to damage the landing site, but the RCE shuttle arrives 10 hours early and its drive will result in the explosives destroying it. The other Belters want to leave the shuttle to its fate, but Lucia protests that this isn't what they had planned and that she doesn't want people to die, and begs the others to at least make the pad explode early so the shuttle has time to evade the damage. The others, however, don't care what happens to the Inners within the shuttle. When Lucia tries to rip the explosives off, Coop pushes her and accidentally knocks her out. She wakes up as the group are escaping in a vehicle, joking about the surprise that awaits the shuttle when it lands. In a haze, she spots the detonator in Coop's hand and, before he can react, she pushes the button on it.[2]
In the aftermath of the shuttle's destruction and the ongoing turmoil between the settlers from the Barbapiccola and the securty forces and researchers from the Edward Israel, Coop gets into an arguement with Murtry pointing out that the Belters built Ganymede, which fed the entire Solar System, and after it was destroyed by the Inners' power struggles, no one helped them relocate. They were left with nothing, and arrived on Ilus IV to build something new, and Earth still is intervening and trying to impede them. Murtry retorts that he didn't cause the Ganymede incident, but someone in the settlement killed 23 of his friends and that's the problem they need to solve. As he turns to leave, Coop says "Careful Earther, day ain't over yet." which Murtry interprets as a threat to justify murdering Coop.[3]
