The Knights of Zakuul stand as the highest military order within the Eternal Empire. To be a Knight is to hold a rank above all others—a mark of proven loyalty, combat prowess, and unwavering dedication to the Throne.
Origin
The Knights of Zakuul evolved from the Knights of Ren. Visions of the Force showed our masters the legacy of Zakuul, a place of legends forged in the fires of our past and the visions of our Force-sensitives. These visions guided the transformation. What was once chaos became order. What was once Ren became Zakuul.
The name "Knights of Zakuul" has been used by others across the galaxy. But the Eternal Empire's connection through the Force gives us a legitimate claim to Zakuul's legacy. We do not merely borrow the name. We are its inheritors.
Duty
The Knights' sacred quest is to protect the Eternal Empire at all costs, to enforce the will of the Emperor, and to ensure that the fire of Zakuul never fades. Knights are skilled units trained for both war and justice. They are spread across all factions of the Eternal Empire—from the legions guarding our borders to the ships patrolling our trade routes. Wherever the Empire reaches, a Knight is never far.
Branches
Within the Knights of Zakuul exist two specialized branches:
Scions of Zakuul – An exclusive order of Force-sensitive Knights dedicated to the mysteries of the Force. They are mediators, diplomats, and researchers. They serve as examples in times of warfare and keepers of balance in times of peace.
Horizon Guard – The elite of the elite. Composed of Defilers and special forces, the Horizon Guard answers only to the Eternal Throne. They are the fist of the High Justice and the shadow of the Emperor's will. Their training is brutal. Their loyalty is absolute.
To be a Knight of Zakuul is to carry the weight of an empire. It is not a title given lightly. It is earned in blood, fire, and devotion.
For Zakuul. For the Throne. For eternity.
