The Marauder systems are populated by Void Dwellings, defense platforms, and the Marauders' fleet(s). Each Marauder empire holds 3 systems (a home system and two additional systems), with the home system having very large deposits of Energy or Minerals. In addition to that, destroying a Marauder Empire has a chance to trigger the rise of the Horde (see below). A Marauder empire can be eradicated by destroying all stations and void dwellings in their home systems, but these are well defended and will take a powerful mid to late-game navy to deal with them. Marauders are always hostile but will generally not attack empires unless they enter their systems or they are in the process of raiding them. Marauders are nomadic and militaristic FTL societies that have eschewed planetary dwelling in favor of living on ships and stations, subsisting largely on raiding each other and extorting tribute from settled empires.
