Knight Houses of Iokath

[Ares Atrius]

The military forces of the Eternal Remnant are commanded by the High Justice in times of war and by the two Praetors in times of peace. While the Houses themselves are judicial forces, they act as standing army and are therefore soldiers and enforcers alike. The majority of ground troops are Skytroopers, highly developed battle droids with jetpacks which can be used in space, air and ground without difficulties and drawbacks. They are also present on every vessel of the Defense Fleet which is primarily commanded by the Iokathian GEMINI droids and is detached and separated from House control, another instance of adding a check of power.

The fleet is composed of a Starfighter Corps which is piloted by Knights and NFUs alike, the main fleet, GEMINI controlled heavy cruisers and the assault forces, large battlecruisers intended to support planetary invasions and assaults. Furthermore the fleet makes use of extreme numbers of recon probes to scout the battlefields and enemies they are fighting.

In war time the Knights do outrank the other branches and every Knight of officer rank has authority to command equal ranks of Commandos or Overwatch. Especially the Battalion and Division Commanders of the Knights usually have command over Commando and Overwatch troops as well as Skytrooper regiments. It is based on case to case of the assignment and mission.

"…Storm the battlefield with Tyth, god of rage. The Firstborn of Izax and Scyva leads us to victory against the profane outlanders. Raise your bloodied fist and cry triumph…"

The Knights are a versatile combat and enforcer organization, but every military unit, every spiritual society has their prime example, has their elite and mysterious caste of warriors devoted to a higher goal, a more elevated sphere and enveloping ideology.
The Honor Guard is this unit, composed of only very few and select Knights, picked by their own, these guardians even put Exarchs into their place. They take vows of silence, wear white armor and are responsible for the protection of all Zakuulan traditions, the guarding and expanding of knowledge and acting as an independent force which is overseeing the balance between the houses. Both skilled in open battle, in research and in covert operations, these faceless warriors are only communicating with themselves, telepathically. They are led by the Captain-General who is only answering to the High Justice, otherwise in a counselling and supporting position to the Praetors.

Iokath is ruled by the Knight Houses, noble institutions which are devoted to train Force sensitives in the way of the Knights of Zakuul. They are feudal entities which govern certain areas of Iokath and take care of law enforcement as well as going to war alongside the other Houses. Each of these meritocratic units is led by an Exarch, a Knight who was chosen to undergo extreme cybernetical enhancements, a difficult and very painful procedure which is only approved after a series of heroic and impossible tasks and quests. They are military, judicial and spiritual leaders, representing everything a Knight can and wants to be.

The Horizon Guard are soldiers, they have abandoned the idea of law enforcement for a fully focused and concentrated martial training. They are the best unaltered fighters the Eternal Remnant can offer, their skill at arms is as impressive as their understanding of tactics, special operations and covert missions. They act as an elite force on the battlefield or are the unit deployed behind enemy lines to sabotage, assassinate or disrupt targets. They usually customize their armor to suit their individual needs, but adhere to the colors black, gold and white for identification.

For the rise of the original Eternal Empire, fame could be put to a large part onto the Scions. A caste of Knights who are focused on the Force and the aspect of the Unifying Force. Now the Scions are the educated Force wise of the Knight Houses, responsible for the finer arts of the Force. The most dedicated find their way to perfect the abilities of Farsight, Battle Meditation and more specialized powers. They are supporting the Knights in their seeking to bring justice to the Galaxy and are the equivalent to the Consulars of the Jedi.

In the memory of the Knights of Zakuul and equipped with same armor and heart, the Knights of the Iokath households are of the same spirit and ideology, yet without the zeal towards an emperor. They are warriors of justice, order and honor, fighting for prosperity and stability. They adhere to their code and doctrines as enforcers of laws and soldiers alike. They take the brunt of the fighting, pursue the most reckless criminals and stand as beacons of the common people. Their houses heraldry decorates their armor and portrays the traditions and battle honors of their Exarch and spiritual ancestors.

Skytroopers are the massed forces of the Eternal Remnants military. They are controlled remotely from a secured base which is directly linked to the military headquarters and relays controls to Star Fortresses, Flagships or even Battlecruisers. They have various protocols which they work from which range from full scale orbital invasion to guard duty, cleaning or building tasks and security or police work. In the field they are commanded by both a Praetorian-unit, a tactical leader model with more computing power or actual Knights. Various variants exists to add a certain versatility to their roster, like Siege units.
