Lore & Background
This faction has no official lore in Kenshi. Any references to a militarized police force called 'Peacekeepers' enforcing order, attacking slavers, or operating a fortified base are entirely fan-created and not part of the game's setting.
In Their Own Story
The dust kicked up by heavy boots echoed in the canyon silence before the first shot rang out. A lone scavenger froze as the metallic glint of cybernetic limbs emerged from the ridge above. There was no negotiation, only the cold, mechanical hum of charging weapons and the flat command to surrender. The Peacekeepers did not hate; they simply processed threats with the efficiency of a machine, their faces hidden behind visors that reflected nothing but the burning sun.
Reader's Guide
The Peacekeepers operate on an ideology of absolute control, believing that freedom is a luxury the wasteland cannot afford. Their hierarchy is strictly military, led by commanders who issue orders without question, executed by cyborg soldiers whose individuality has been erased. Recruitment is often involuntary; they capture wanderers and criminals, converting them into loyal cyborg units through forced augmentation. This ensures their ranks are filled with obedient enforcers rather than free-thinking individuals who might question orders. They maintain territorial control over the Peacekeeper Base and surrounding areas, acting as a de facto government for the region. Their relationships with other factions are predominantly hostile, particularly towards Slavers and Rebels, whom they view as destabilizing forces that must be crushed to maintain order.
