- Description: The Knights of Ailara are a small organization of Force Users drawn from the populace of Ailara and trained by Darth Acharon. They were modified variants of ancient Sith Warrior armor, and bear the emblem of the Empire of Ailara on their right shoulder. Each recruit undergoes rigorous training under the eyes of Darth Acharon, and drilled to learn and memorize the Sith Code. Unlike other sects, the Knights of Ailara are encouraged to use free thought and personal prerogative in both their training, education, and in the field of battle, as Darth Acharon feels this will allow the Knights of Ailara to fight at their best.
- Unit Size: Small
- Unit Availability: Rare
- Unit Experience: Elite
- Equipment:
- Combat Function:
- The Knights of Ailara serve primarily as frontline combatants for the Empire of Ailara, deployed to break through enemy infantry formations, and act as counters to enemy Force Users in the field. They also serve as the personal guard for the Emperor of Ailara, Darth Acharon, and several members of the organization are posted to his person at all times.
- In direct combat situations, the Knights of Ailara favor a spearhead assault tactic, forming into a single large formation of Knights and charging a predetermined enemy weak point. Using their heavy armor and combat prowess, the Knights of Ailara will break through and create an opening in the enemy lines, allowing for follow up Imperial forces to pour through the opening. When deployed in a defensive engagement, the Knights of Ailara will be held in reserve away from the front lines. Using fast moving vehicles, the Knights will move to positions under heavy attack from enemy infantry or Force Users, and will push to the front to plug any gaps in the line until reinforcements can be brought forward to replace them.
- Should Darth Acharon take the field personally in combat, the Knights of Ailara will adopt one of two formations. The first and most common is for the Knights to form into a wedge behind Darth Acharon, and using their Emperor as the initial breaking point, will strike and widen any openings he makes, while protecting his flanks from enemy attacks. Conversely, if Darth Acharon is attacked away from the front lines, they will form into a protective circle around him, and use their heavy armor to protect their lord until he can be seen to safety.
- Heavy Hitter: The Knights of Ailara are equipped with heavy armored protection, allowing them to weather through damage that would be lethal to most individuals. Added on to their Force User precognition and combat training, the Knights of Ailara are able to wreak havoc against most foes they are deployed against.
- All Terrain Rampage: The Knights of Ailara are equipped with armor and equipment allowing them to operate effectively in almost every terrain they come across with minimal reequipping or preparation required, allowing them to arrive to a battlefield and immediately launch offensives before their foes are fully prepared.
- Limited Numbers: Due to the rarity of Force Users on Ailara, the Knights of Ailara are unable to easily or quickly replenish combat losses. This prevents them from taking part in long term, attrition fighting and any losses inflicted on the organization will be felt for a long term period.
- Anti-Force: As a Force User organization, the Knights of Ailara are susceptible to anti-Force User weaponry and tactics.
The Knights of Ailara were founded by Darth Acharon following the creation of the Empire of Ailara. Initially, the Knights of Ailara were stationed in the capital city with their Emperor, but as their numbers began to grow they were relocated to their current stronghold, the Temple of the Sith'ari. Here, the Knights of Ailara practice in daily combat simulations and rigorous training regimes, overseen personally by Darth Acharon when possible, and by trusted high ranking members within the organization when he is not present. They are a relatively small organization still, as the Knights of Ailara only recruit from the population of Ailara itself, which has a lower than average Force User percentage among the population compared to the rest of the galaxy. However, as the Empire of Ailara prepares to expand its border, new worlds will be opened up to draw recruits from, and expand the fledgling organizations numbers.
