The Khanid Kingdom, also known as the Dark Amarr, was founded a few centuries ago when the last Amarr Emperor was chosen.

The Khanid Kingdom is a theocratic monarchy which is headed by Garkeh Khanid, the self-proclaimed king of the Khanid Kingdom, having himself renamed Khanid II. Khanid Prime is the capital of the Kingdom. Though Khanid II claims to be the sole leader of the Kingdom, he shares his power with the holders and magnates that are also in his realm.

The Khanid Family, who Khanid II belongs to, is seen as a threat to his rule. Because of this, he takes the children and women in the family as hostages at his royal palace on Khanid Prime to keep their fathers and husbands in line.

Though independent from the Amarr Empire, the Kingdom supported actions of the Empire against Minmatar terrorists and, in CONCORD votes, often supports the Amarr in the matters of policy.

Holders in the Khanid Kingdom are in many ways identical to their Empire counterparts. They retain many of the same governing and slave-owning functions. The largest difference is the relative power of the Kingdom Holders. The Holders in the Kingdom must answer solely to the King. Khanid II has allowed his Holders to rule in what manner they see fit as long as it doesn't threaten him.

Additionally, there is no Theology Council or centralized religious authority in the Kingdom aside from the King, so the Kingdom Holders assume many of the duties undertaken by the priesthood in the Empire.

A large portion of the Holders in the Khanid Kingdom are Khanid. Though the majority are still of True Amarr descent, the large number of Khanid Holders owe their loyalty to the Khanid Family which they accompanied Khanid II in his revolt against the Empire.

Royal Khanid NavyThe Royal Khanid Navy, currently commanded by Grand Admiral Zidarez Khanid, was formed from the followers that were loyal to Khanid II in the Amarr military. The headquaters of the RKN is in Kiltaled system. During the Khanid Rebellion, a large number from the Imperial Navy, including the Third Fleet, had joined him. Today the RKN is not large like the Imperial Navy, but is far more advanced than the Imperial Navy due to trade deals with the Caldari. Khanid Mashtori are an elite sect of bounty hunters that work exclusively for the Khanid Family. They have at times operated battleships and led fleets in times of war.

The Khanid First Fleet is stationed at Khanid Prime and is largely a ceremonial posting and the traditional honor guard of King Khanid II.

The Kingdom still upholds many of the tradition of Amarr society, but has also wholeheartedly embraced the customs of others, mainly the Caldari. Many visitors to the Kingdom feel like it is a surreal mix of the Amarr and Caldari empires.

Due to encouraging Khanid to move to the Khanid region by the Khanid Family, many in the Khanid Kingdom are Khanid. They served as King Khanid II's soldiers during the Khanid Rebellion. Today, a large group of Khanid Unionist has formed which is the primary reason of growing improvement between the Kingdom and the Empire.

As in the Empire, slavery is considered a vital part of the Kingdom. Due to the somewhat more secular attitude in the Kingdom, however, the idea that slaves are lost children needing to be taught the ways of God is not as universally held in Dark Amarr society. Slaves tend to be viewed as servants and free labor first, and potential future members of society second. The rights of ownership of King Khanid and the Dark Amarr of slaves is a rarely contested fact in the Kingdom.

Due to the number of Holders that followed King Khanid II in the Khanid Rebellion had left the Kingdom with a lack of slaves. As a response to satistfy his Holders, King Khanid II used his own slaves as well as those confiscated from Holders who opposed the split from the Empire. The end result was that the slave pools were reduced and scattered and this worsened as decades passed because older slaves died off and the fracturing of populations meant slave births were reduced. Due to the eventual lack of slaves and cut from the supply of slaves from Minmatar space, the Khanid Kingdom the Amarr first contact with the Gallente, Caldari, and Jove in 23180 AD. They conducted on slave raids on the Gallenteans. The Gallenteans blamed the Amarrians as they couldn't tell the Kingdom and the Empire apart. They conducted a few raids on the Caldari.

Following the formation of CONCORD the Kingdom signed the various treaties which ceased direct raids into the Federation and State, however the Kingdom still starved for slaves and regularly had to deal with questionable slavers who acted outside the law. The Kingdom realized another way to have an income of slaves by carefully watching foreign visitors, if they should break any laws, frequently the authorities would enslave the offender as a punishment knowing there would be little action taken against them.

Today, large population of the Kingdom's slaves are still Minmatar making up around 60% of the total number of slaves. The Ealur and mixed heritages make up a large portion. The Kingdom has, though only make up the minority, large numbers of Gallente, Intaki, Mannar, and a small number of Jin-Mei from a criminal cartel which was enslaved by the Khanid Kingdom for crimes against the Kingdom, though there was no evidence that the group ever operated in the area. They have suffcient amount of slaves to have viable breeding programs.
