Kingdom Alliance

The **Kingdom Alliance**, or simply the **Kingdom**, is one of the three warring factions in *Marauders*.

## Overview

The Kingdom Alliance is in a perpetual war with the Central Empire and the United Allies, since at least the 1920s. Much like the other factions, they have industrialized space with military ships, asteroid mining stations, docking stations and other space technology. The Kingdom Alliance carries out its operations with extensive focus on stealth and intelligence, utilizing suppressors and operating as squads. Kingdom Alliance personnel will attempt to approach the target indirectly, to maintain the stealth advantage. The Kingdom Alliance is formed from the remnants of the United Kingdom, French Third Republic, and Australia.

Intelligence operations of the Kingdom Alliance include the confirmation of a large armoury inside the Colony Cruiser, a depot inside the Mining Frigate, and information on food shipments on the Merchant Frigate. The Kingdom Alliance seek information in the L1812 Service Space Station to cut off food deliveries to rebels, and evidence of illegal bank transfers by the United Allies in the Spaceport Bank. The Kingdom Alliance seek to expand their agricultural production using information from the United Allies' Colony Cruiser farming efforts, and data on the failures of the Terraformer's farming attempts. The Kingdom Alliance has contracts for the destruction of Central Empire Radar Towers and the disabling of the Navy Outpost's Flak Cannon system. The Kingdom Alliance sends contractors to investigate the drill pit of the Iridium Asteroid Mine, to confirm the status of a dead Security Personnel team. The Kingdom Alliance seek to find an undercover agent inside the Commando forces of the Navy Outpost, who was injured and relocated in the ensuing invasion of the facility. Pirates hired by the Kingdom Alliance are tasked with initially killing another pirate to demonstrate their effectiveness. The Kingdom Alliance will pay contractors to disrupt Central Empire operations, such as controlling Merchant Frigates and gathering intelligence on war plans. The Kingdom Alliance seek to control the nuclear silos of the United Allies' Planet Killer Base and obtain targeting data to organise evacuations in case of a prepared strike.

The Kingdom Alliance features the Special Air Service as a branch of the military, of which Overlord is a member. The SAS undertakes raids on the other factions, primarily the Central Empire, such as assaulting the Central Empire Navy Outpost. The SAS consists of the strongest soldiers in the Kingdom Alliance. The Market trader simply known as "Defector" is a former Kingdom Alliance service member.
