Narrative:

On MARCS8 arrival into sat over criss intersection descending through 8000 ft we received an RA. I immediately started a climb in accordance to RA command we passed overhead intruder aircraft by 200 ft. No injuries. Aircraft proceeded to sat for a normal landing. We never saw the intruder aircraft. All company procedures were complied with along with all FAA regulations.
