Overview of the Khanid Kingdom in Eve Online

An outside observer may not realize that the Khanid Kingdom is not part of the Amarr Empire in the Eve Online universe. The Khanid Kingdom shares many of the attitudes of the Amarr Empire. Despite the similarities, the kingdom is an independent nation. It is more open to trade and to outsiders than the Empire it broke away from.

There are not many ships linked to the Khanid Kingdom faction, nor does the faction offer many other types of technology that give a pilot an edge in player versus environment or player versus player combat. Players increase their standing with this faction by working with other factions that the Khanids get a long with and running storyline missions. Rogue pilots will find plenty of ships inside the kingdom’s space that needs to be secured from its seemingly rightful owners.

The Amarr Emperors use life extension procedures that allow them to have long live spans. These extended lifespan of the Amarr noble does not make him immortal, despite the bet efforts of the doctors of the Amarr Empire. The Empire choose a new ruler several centuries ago. Khandi II failed to obtain the throne and should have committed suicide. His desire to live was much stronger than his desire to follow the traditions of the empire.

Khanid II broke away from the Empire and stole two Titans. The Empire he deserted did not react initially, as the new ruler was busy trying to consolidate his rule over the portions of his empire. The enraged Amarr Navy sent a fleet to reconquer the lands held by Khanid, but it managed to recapture only a small portion of the systems controlled by the rebelling nobleman. Khanid II modeled his government after the one that he had willfully deserted. The Kingdom occupies a small portion of space near the fringes of the Empire.
