Editing Alien (section)

=== Remains and Independence ===

Alien expanded its marker range with the [[Alien Remains]] in 2006.

The Remains retained the company's electronically controlled, open-bolt operating arrangement, including an integrated ram and solenoid assembly.

The design placed the ram assembly outside the main marker body, allowing a compact receiver configuration.[5]

Alien subsequently developed the [[Alien Independence]], which was publicly demonstrated in 2006 and 2007 before the introduction of the 2008 model.

The Independence featured a revised body, integrated feed neck, redesigned ram assembly and other improvements.

VintageRex catalogues both the 2008 and 2009 versions of the Independence.[6]

The company continued developing and marketing the Independence through 2010.

In February 2010, Alien announced a sponsorship agreement with professional team [[Sacramento XSV]], whose players were to use the 2010 Independence during the tournament season.

The announcement also identified [[Kee Action Sports]] as a distributor of Alien markers.[7]
