Greetings, I am Hunter,
former Commander of Knight Sqdr and I want to welcome you
to the Knight's Hall. The Story of Knight Sqdr, it's birth
and death and a rebirth here within the Imperial Order on
board the modified ISD Lightning I will tell as best as I
can. In this history I will also speak of other things that though are
not of the Knights directly, but it is still worthy to speak of, for it
explains all that went around it and how it's members came to find themselves
where they are today.
Knight Sqdr
founded in the Emperors Dark Assault Fleet on board the ISD
Destrier, Flagship of the EDAF. Given the role and
title of Interception Sqdr, the T/I became it's standard craft. I came
to it as my first assignment of command from Twister Sqdr
also aboard the Destrier. As XO, I found myself in a role
a bit harder than just being Fight Leader. My first goal was to give the
men a common goal something in which they could grasp and hold and keep
within their sights... an enemy was picked, Rogue Sqdr of
the Rebel Fleet became our goal.
The Brotherhood of Knight
Sqdr had it first roots in the name of an honor dual that never
took place but that is a to far from this chapter to cover today. The Knight
Sqdr quickly became famous or infamous depending upon your point
of view. Both sides held their campaign in high esteem and pride ran high
on both sides till the dark times came upon the Royal Republic Navy,
again that is a story that might be told at another time.
I left the Knight's, but
not far behind. I was given command of the 2nd ship to come online in the
EDAF, the VSD Dragoon 26 men I had.... this
was the highest point in my career, all other things fell and crumbled
from here.. The VSD Dragoon with Ghost and
Reaper Sqdrs T/I's and T/B's giving her a good round about
punch. but the Dragoon's teeth where in her men, the finest
I have since ever worked with, next to one other in the Knight's which
is still there even after 2 years... I ramble but isn't that what one does
after time. The RRN fell it's death long and painful. The
Dragoon left the EDAF in hopes of finding a
new home in which it has... I stepped down from command before that time...
my feelings of such are cloudy and mixed. I have taken a more simple post,
one in which I am free to remember the better times and where I can get
away with doing things a bit more my way.
So here is Knight Sqdr
after a long road and with only two of its members from the days of old,
we hope to rebuild the feeling we once knew that comes with knowing you
are the best.
Hunter, March 1998
When the new flagship of
the Second Fleet was introduced, all members of the ISD Lightning
were transferred to that new ship - the VSB Liberator - to
find a new home. But our time of suffering wasn't over. Again we lost men,
good men, including our Squadron Commander, Hunter. Hopefully he will return
one day, his heart filled with the spirit of war to fight the rebels and
other enemies of the Imperial Order. Until then we have to
fight them on our own, side by side with our brothers and sisters within
the Imperial Order.
Long live the Empire! Glory to the Knights, death to the enemy!
Tar-Atanamir, May 1998
This is the last chapter
of the Knights. We were transfered again, to the ISD
Virulent, Flagship of Battlegroup Virulent. But after a few month
the decision was made to transfer all active personal aboard our flagship,
the SSD Executor II. This will help the Imperial Order,
but it will destroy the Knights until we have enough members
to man the ISD Virulent again.
