Warlord Pact

The Warlord Pact, also referred to as the Pact or the Warlords, is a military alliance between alien nations. The Pact was initially established between the Margan Dynasties and the Zaretian Monarchy as a direct reactionary movement to the formation of their common enemy, the Peacekeeper Alliance.
The foremost objective of the Pact is to bring about the dissolution of the Peacekeeper Alliance and the extermination of its component member states. The Pact is the ideological apotheosis of the Alliance and refuses to recognise its legitimacy as an authority. The Alliance proscribes and enforces law across the galaxy, such as prohibiting the exercise of ‘objectionable’ deeds by alien states such as slavery, pillaging or use of weapons of mass destruction; a mandate which some Warlords regard as tyrannical. Additionally, the concentration of allied powers that comprise the Alliance represents the largest and most powerful unified military force in Known Space – perhaps even as powerful as the combined strength of the Warlord nations. The Pact identifies the continued existence of the Peacekeeper Alliance as an intractable threat that only grows more dangerous over time and must be countered to prevent its dominion over all of the Kentaurs Sector.
The Warlord Pact is significantly less cohesive and its races are less amenable to cooperation compared to their Peacekeeper counterparts. The allegiance Warlord races have with one another is often tenuous and infighting is not unheard of. Concord between members of the Pact is usually made selfishly with the ambition of defeating the common enemy as the only force keeping everything in check. While the Warlord races do fight together, there exist no officialised combined forces between Warlord nations and most assistance in conflict takes the form of arms trading, sharing of intelligence and the lend-lease programme. The mounting pressure created by the expansion of the Peacekeeper Alliance has forced the Pact to boost its own ranks and work together closer than ever before.
Since the Warlord Pact’s official declaration of war against the Peacekeeper Alliance, both factions have been engaged in perpetual conflict. Dubbed the Great War, this armed struggle is the largest war in the history of the known galaxy and continues to intensify.
