==Knight Armour==
Knight armour, or Knight Suits, were originally developed long ago from [[STC]]s to allow for [[Human]] colonists to survive against the dangerous lifeforms of settled worlds during the [[Dark Age of Technology]].{{Fn|11a}} Knight pilots require a specialized interface suit dubbed a [[Carapace Bodyglove]] in order to interface with the [[Throne Mechanicum]] of a Knight, which allows the user to operate the vehicle as an extension of their own body. Such a process is often stressful on the user, requiring Knights to train themselves for the process.{{Fn|29e}} Smaller Knights given to Bondsmen, such as [[Armiger Knight|Armiger]]s, use a less advanced [[Helm Mechanicum]] to achieve this same effect.{{Fn|11e}}
Knight armour comes in a variety of forms, with the two most common types seen being the [[Knight Paladin]] and [[Knight Errant]]. These both use the same basic body form but are fitted with different weapons arrays. However, all Imperial Knights are protected by thick [[adamantium]] armour and potent field generators called [[Ion Shield]]s.{{Fn|4}} Most modern Imperial Knights utilize [[plasma]] energy cores for power{{Fn|23}}, but older designs such as the [[Knight Magaera]] used the now little-understood [[Atomantic Reactor]].{{Fn|20c}}
