- Permissions: Permission to finish the sub.
- Links: N/A
- Unit Name: Stealth Knights
- Affiliation: Serpents of Ashla
- Classification: Black Ops
- Description: Stealth Knights function essentially as classically trained Atrisian Shinobi with Force Powers. They are fearless, ruthless, and as their name implies, highly stealthy. Their services are typically only called upon when dealing with enemy Force Adepts. They wear light armor or reinforced clothing without identifying marks, making it largely impossible to spot a Stealth Knight in the streets.
- Unit Size: Medium
- Unit Availability: Uncommon
- Unit Experience: Veteran
- Equipment: Swords/blades, lightsabers, light armor or reinforced civilian clothing
- Combat Function: As agents, they are ideal for sneaking into enemy HQ, stealing information, and assassinating opponents (especially Force Adepts) in high security areas. In armies, they function as scouts or spies.
- Dirty Fighter: Stealth Knights are jack-of-all-trades combat pragmatists, willing to use anything and everything to defeat an opponent. They are known for employing the environment against their foes, often staging their deaths to look like an accident.
- Right Behind You: As their name implies, Stealth Knights are incredibly stealthy, employing both technology and the Force to avoid detection. If you see one, it's because they want you to.
- Patient: Stealth Knights are famous for their seemingly boundless patience. If it takes them days or weeks of lying in wait to complete their mission, they will do it without complaint.
- Wizard: Their skill in the Force is roughly on par with that of a Jedi or Sith Knight.
- Out in the Open: While excellent in the shadows, Stealth Knights are ill-suited to open combat. Bringing them into battle will only get them killed.
- Power Duelists: Most Stealth Knights are power-oriented, using the element of surprise to get the drop on an enemy and take them down before they even have a chance to draw their weapons. But in prolonged combat, they are less effective.
- Master of None: While trained in a variety of combat styles, they do not specialize in any of them.
Stealth Knights are a subgroup of the Serpents of Ashla, a secretive Force User sect dating back several centuries. The Serpents were created by Darth Themis, a "Light Sith", in an effort to combat the lawlessness of the Gulag Era. While devoted to imposing order and limited to only using the Light Side, the Serpents are known for their ruthless methods. While they exist largely outside the boundaries of the Jedi-Sith feud, neither party would accept them, viewing their beliefs as heretical.
