- Diagrammaton: The Diagrammaton describes a combat doctrine where two Knights pair up to become one entity during combat. This means that during a fight, the two Knights can naturally and organically switch between combat roles which are typically called Shieldbearer, the defensive partner, and Spearbearer, the offensive partner and this way overpower opponents who are alone or would individually have a much higher fighting skill than the Knights have.

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.From exactly the origins and dcotrine he originated from, the ancient Zakuulan Exarch taught a new generation of Force sensitives in the way of how to use the Force for a purpose and how to utilise their talent not for a religion, for a dogmatic side, but for a purpose which supersedes any narrow view or philosophical debate: the greater good.
Justice, order and discipline became the primary tenets on which the world had to be ordered. Laws and structures were as important as science and free-speech to the people, infrastructure and work for the masses to live with. It was predominant, it was important. And on the other hand it was not important whos Force ideology sat in their ivory towers and embraced a dogma of a power which was void to the vast majority of people.
The Shield Host Tyth lives to fight for this ideology. They are extremely martial and offensive in their approach and less the skilled detectives and investigators, but trueborn soldiers of justice. They find their duty in directly engaging anyone opposing them, be it in single combat or in battle, the Shield Host fights exceptionally well with other units and actively utilizes combined arms doctrine as well as shock tactics.
