In [[3068]] the Knights were recalled to [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] by the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]]. During a parade review, the [[Word of Blake]] attacked the Knights with chemical weapons. As they weren't expecting combat, the Techs hadn't installed the filter systems commonly used when entering combat. This lack of filter systems killed many of the First Knights. The remaining Knights attempted to break out of the parade cordon, but were slowed dramatically by the Atreus City Police Department in their ''[[PM6 Peacemaker]]s'' and the [[8th Free Worlds Legionnaires]].<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', p. 8</ref>

The Knights who escaped were able to break into lance-sized units and go to ground. They continued to fight the Blakists and their Marik allies for the next nine years. Unfortunately, the 8th Legionnaires and the Blakist [[15th Division (Word of Blake)|15th Division]] shattered their command structure and hunted the Knights ruthlessly. Even so, a company of Knights managed to survive, until their participation in a rescue attempt of the false Thomas Marik led to their total destruction in 3076.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', p. 6-13</ref>
