- Description: [ The Horizon Guard are the executing hand of the ruler of Zakuul, its enforcer and warrior. They are absolutely, zealously loyal and trained to perfection, as only the best are picked from the ranks of the Knights of Zakuul to serve among the Horizon Guard. They were characteristical black-gold armour and carry lightsaber weapons with blue synthetic crystals in them, while also being equipped with more standard weapons such as grenades and a pistol, not shying from using them. Opposite to the Knights of Zakuul who are focusing their training and combat around the diagrammaton, the fighting together, Horizon Guard are drilled to be lone fighters, duelists and worse. They also are generally more leaning towards the usage of more destructive Force powers and despite their doctrine to fight alone, they have an even stronger bond between each other, both to highlight their exceptional brotherhood and to keep the balance in each and everyone of them. That is also a reason why no outlander will ever see a Horizon Guards face. ]

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ The Knights of Zakuul have been more or less extinct for more than four millennia and were just recently reconstituted on Zakuul itself in the wake of fall of Kalidan's Empire and
Aurelian Sigismund
's return from the Exegol campaign and so was their part-successor, the Horizon Guard.Founded on the eve of the defeat of the Eternal Empire under Empress Vaylin, the Horizon Guard were handpicked by the sovereign herself from the most trusted and skilled Zakuulan Knights, serving as her de facto Empress Guard. They were her ruthless and uncompromising servants, carried out her orders to the latter and accepted her darker, maniacal tendencies. When Zakuul fell, those who survived gathered around to serve the Order o Zildrog until it was annihilated as well by the devouring falsehood of the Eternal Alliance and its ambitious leader.
Now, more than four millennia later, the Hegemon of Vandemar and Zakuul reinstated the organisation as an elite force within the Knights of Zakuul. Similarly fanatic but now focused and drilled towards a more common greater good, they understand their role in the system perfectly well. They are the enforcers, the executing hand, the judge & jury, going above and beyond what laws would demand, they know neither remorse nor hesitation.]
