Featured in the SR campaign Serendipity as the Intelligence and regional security branch of the Adhara Coalition, the Coalition Watch, colloquially referred to as simply 'The Watch', is an entity responsible for monitoring civilians and members of the military within Adharan space, via means that have been met with notable criticism and contributed to the rather common idea by which the Coalition is no less than an actual dictatorship. The penal colony located under the surface of Midas in Adhara is entirely operated and managed by the Watch, as the central government maintains only limited personnel in that infrastructure. At first, the military branch of the Watch was extremely dependent on regular Coalition forces to perform its operations, but over time it began to gain more operational independence and exclusive assets, and dedicated Watch quarters with restricted access have started to appear on the most critical Coalition warships to better coordinate a number of operations.
The Coalition Watch has been named after The Watch, an intelligence organization within Navy ranks in Colony Wars: Vengeance. Its logo has also been adapted to point to its CW:V counterpart.
