Coalition

"The Coalition is an alliance of three different alien species living in peace with each other: the Saryds, the Kimek, and the Arachi. On many Coalition worlds, all three species live together in harmony, which is made easier by the fact that each species prefers a very different climate and thus gravitates to different parts of a planet. They are ruled by individuals known as the Heliarchs."
- Coalition log entry
The Coalition is a triple-alliance (triumvirate) between three distinct alien races; the Saryds, the Arachi, and the Kimek. They occupy around 70 systems south-west of the Free Worlds' territory. They are governed by a select group of citizens called the Heliarchs.
After completing 30 random missions for them (or giving them a Jump Drive), you get access to their freighters and transports. Only the Heliarchs have access to combat ships and weapons, and the only way you can obtain these combat ships and their weapons are via plundering.
A further storyline is planned for the Coalition.
== History ==
Before the events of Endless Sky, they were controlled by the Quarg. The three species of the area, the Kimek, Saryds, and Arachi formed the Coalition and in about 4,000 B.C.E. they fought the Quarg in a war which lasted for a thousand years. After they finally drove out the Quarg, they flourished and formed their own government, the Heliarch. Since then, they have had 6,000 years of prosperity under the Heliarch government. However, some Arach Houses are not happy with the status of the Coalition under the Heliarchs. They are helping fund the Lunarium Redoubt, a new rebel faction who have started a fight to overthrow the powerful Heliarchy,
== Attributes ==
The Coalition is made up of three species and is controlled by the Heliarch. The three species are the Arachi, the Kimek, and the Saryds. The Arachi are described as looking like large spiders, the Kimek are giant beetles, and the Saryds look like centaurs.
Each species has their own distinctive ship design.
== Technology ==
The Coalition do not have access to any weapons or combat ships, all of those are owned by the Heliarchs. Coalition solar collection, cooling, and hull repair technology is viable for the player. However, the rest of their technology is generally outclassed by the alternatives that the player can access. That is not to say that Coalition outfits are not usable, just that they are outperformed by other technology of roughly the same tier that can exceed them in performance or simple convenience. Likewise, Coalition transport and freighter ships are decent in their own right, but their lack of a Jump Drive makes them less useful than human or Hai vessels that can make do with a hyperdrive for most trading runs.

== Interspecies Relations ==
The Coalition does not have much contact with other species.
* Heliarch: The Heliarchs form the government of the Coalition, and control all military matters.
* Humans: The player is not the first human the coalition meet, because the Coalition already has translating devices. We have no other information about these earlier visitors.
* Hai: The Coalition do not meet the Hai, but learn of them after the player visits.
* Quarg: The Coalition are likely still hostile towards the Quarg after their war.
