This form of raid cannot be bought off and while they will always reveal they were paid to raid, they will never tell by which empire. While raiding on behalf of an empire, Marauders are treated as allied and their systems can be travelled through. Settled empires can also pay the Marauders to conduct a raid on one of their Rivals for 3000 energy credits, both diverting their attention and potentially weakening that rival's military and economy. Once Marauder raiders reach an undefended planet, they will bombard it until it reaches 15 Devastation, at which point the Marauders will steal either resources or up to 4 biological Pops. While in the process of raiding, they can still be bought off with tribute, but the price is doubled. If the Marauders are not paid, the pillaging will begin. Targeted empires can choose to pay Minerals, Energy or Food, the value depending on their monthly income

Before raiding, they will offer said empire a chance to pay them off with a hefty tribute. Marauders will occasionally set out to raid settled empires they have established contact with.
