# Interface: TAchCategory

TAchCategory describes a mission/badge category. Categories are
operator-defined groupings, configured per-label by the brand operator,
shared across BOTH missions and badges — the same list is returned for
both entity types. A mission or badge can belong to **zero or more**
categories (many-to-many) via its `category_ids: number[]` field on
`TMissionOrBadge`.

Returned by `_smartico.api.getAchCategories()`. See that method's TSDoc
for translation, refresh, and rendering details.
