The United Extrasolar Kingdom
Military - The Round Table

Tintagel, The Round Table's Fortress Station, deep in the Alpha Quadrant

"It is with a pure heart, a pure soul and a pure mind that I make this oath.
I swear, whilst I still draw breath, that I will uphold the laws of honour, defend the weak and fight forces of darkness that beseech these lands.

I will not rest, even in death, until the last domino falls, and the forces of darkness are driven back into the shadows.

I will do these things.

I swear it"

~ Words spoken by the first knights, upon swearing the first oath to Prince Artorius Annwn. Now part of the oath initiates must recite during initiation into The Order.

The Round Table

A semi-secret order, The Round Table serve as the Empire's sword and shield against the paranormal, the supernatural, the occult and the downright heretical. Founded in the late 1950's by The White Prince, Prince Arthur Annwn, the Order Of The Round Table has served with distinction against the weird and the not-so-wonderful for almost 50 years, although it's roots go back to the days of Prince Arthur's ancestors, most notably The Black Prince Artorius Annwn and the White Queen, Guinivere Sewern. They, along with the knights who swore fealty to their cause, were the first to take up arms against the paranormal and to verse themselves in the ways of the cultist and the heretic in order to better neutralise the threat they posed to the Empire.

The Order was officially formed off the back of the murders of several young girls in and around Bretonnian space. Sir Cardok, investigator, inventor and good friend to Prince Arthur, uncovered, with the help of several associates, a plot to summon a dark power to restore the Empire to the way the shadowy cabal funding and backing the ritual wanted to see it. Before they slinked into the shadows, their plans foiled, they swore revenge. With the evil plot foiled, the Kingdom was safe - for the moment. Cardok and Arthur knew that the cabal's threat was not to be taken lightly. Therefore, with the most respected inventor and a royal backing, the Order was formed.

"Politicians Command.
Serfs Obey.
Brothers Are Equal.
Whatever Their Origin.
We Fight The Darkness As Brothers.
For The Darkness Does Not Judge."
~ Part of the Knight's Doctrine

Organisation & Doctrines

New recruits to the Order are known as Initiates. They study the arts of warfare used by both the Order and her enemies. Generally, Initiates join at a young age - no younger than 13 and no older than 18, although there are often exceptions. They will continue to live in the Initiate's block of Tintagel untill one of the Knights, Senior Knights or the Knight-Commander himself selects them for apprenticeship.

Initiates then moved up to become Apprentices. Here, they hone the skills they have learned with the Knight who takes them on. They live and work with that Knight, doing training, prayer and other tasks with them. Generally, Knights do not choose any Initiates for apprenticeship untill around 18, and at the age of 19 they undergo genetic alterations to give them the power to withstand the more insidious powers of daemons. After this treatment, they undergo more training in order to hone and control this power.

After this, generally around the age 23/24/25, a Knight may declare his Apprentice "ready". Those who are ready take the final test an Apprentice's training has prepared them for; they must battle a daemon armed with only their will. Those who survive are fully inducted into the order, and are knighted by the Knight-Commander, in the presence of the "Old Ones"; great mechanical beings instilled with the consciousness of the old knights who literally refuse to rest, even in death. Naturally, apprentices that die - an unfortunately not uncommon occurance in Tintagel's Black Tower - are revered in the Ceremony of the Dead, so that they may pass on into the afterlife.

"Fear And Uncertainty Are The Greatest Enemies
Confindence And Faith; The Greatest Of Allies"
~ Part of the Knights Doctrine

Throughout their training as initiates and apprentices, new recruits are taught not only to fight daemons, but also a range of other skills, ranging from piloting, stellar cartography, deep space tracking and so on. They are also taught a code of honour, which all Knights must abide by, lest they be disiplined by the Senior Knights.

The Knight's Code Of Chivalry

To never do outrage nor murder

Always to flee treason

To by no means be cruel but to give mercy unto him who asks for mercy

To always do ladies, gentlewomen and widows succor

To never force ladies, gentlewomen or widows

Not to take up battles in wrongful quarrels for love or worldly goods

Combat Style & Technology

The Round Table has always been in possession of the most advanced technology and the most up-to-date tactics. Whilst the rest of the Kingdom's scientists struggle to replictate the power source for energy weapons, Knights of the Round Table have carried them for almost a decade. They are known to have developed powered armour, forms of personal shielding, new ship designs fitted with larger energy weapons and numerous other technological breakthroughs.

What is not known about them is the extent of the genetic surgery Knights undergo during their time. Whilst it is said that it allows them to block the insidious mental powers daemons weild, in truth it is much more. The genetic surgery awakens a dormant cell within the body, triggering what is presumed to be the next step in human evolution. The dormant cell begins by unlocking the key to powerful mental powers - often telepathy and telekinesis. With proper usage and honing, the cells develop, and new powers emerge. Due to the differing DNA of people, the powers that they "evolve" will differ, and the full extent of the powers have yet to be determined.

However, this does not come without a price. For approximately 1% of initiates who undergo the surgery, the dormant cells do not awaken properly, and when activated, begin assimiliating normal cells, killing the body. There is no way to reverse the cycle, and is therefore fatal to all who succumb to it. Knights who are afflicted with this curse often do not wait for death. Instead, they partake in the Ceremony Of Death, and cross over to the Giant's Causeway, to die serving the Order.
