Insignia of the Knights of the Inner Sphere

The Knights of the Inner Sphere were a FWLM unit created by 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." The Knights were destroyed during the Jihad.

The Knights of the Inner Sphere consisted of two official regiments:

The Knights also had a third unofficial regiment, the mercenary unit Romanov's Crusaders, formed from non-League citizens who also heeded the Captain-General's call. Unwilling to integrate such a large number of foreign citizens into the FWLM, these volunteers were formed into a virtual "foreign legion" dedicated to the same ideals espoused by the Knight and ensuring their spread outside the League.
