Belt rats are local pirates you can encounter when in an ore belt(mining).

General

• They can show up in all ore belts, whether regular or mission
  • No belt rats appear in 0.9 and 1.0 security systems.
• They come in flights of 1 to 3 frigates (highsec)
• A system always has the same pirate faction
  • Which pirate faction occupies a certain system can be found on places like EVEEYE or Dotlan.
    • Dotlan's system information page for instance says Hek has Angels.
    • The way EVEEYE indicates the NPC Pirates seems to indicate that the pirates are the same for a whole region?. It shows as an icon in the top bar.
  • COSMOS constellations have special type of belt rats. These definitely do not require mining activity to spawn. They have a separate naming pattern The Angel version for example are called "Cyber something" while the regular are called "Angel something"
