Created by Captain-General Thomas Marik, the Knights of the Inner Sphere were meant to reintroduce chivalry to the Inner Sphere. Both regiments were wiped out during the Jihad.
History
Created by False Thomas Marik in 3055 with the goal of civilizing modern combat, the knights swore personal loyalty to the Captain-General to the exclusion of home planet or even family. The knights pledge of loyalty extended to a commitment to Neo-chivilric honor and conduct. This dedication was exemplified by their combat dictates that forbid a Knight from firing into the back of an opponent and in their conduct with one another referring to other Knights as "Sir" or "Dame."
During the Blakist Jihad, a chemical nerve agent attacked the Knight, leaving all of their number dead or crippled. In a single, brutal strike, this mighty unit became inert.
Following the Jihad, most of their equipment was gifted to the Republic of the Sphere, in the aim Devlin Stone will "breathe life into the Knights" again. So he created the Knights of the Sphere, a new unit of Knights defending Republic's valors.
Officers
Paul Masters : the most known Knight of the Sphere was also their leader. Later was he nominated Ambassador to the Clans.
