'''Imperial Knights''' are towering bipedel engines of war that hail from feudal worlds of the [[Imperium]] known as [[Knight World]]s. Each Knight is piloted by a single Noble pilot from within the [[Throne Mechanicum]].{{Fn|11c}} Knights which are sworn to the service of the [[Emperor]] are known as '''Questor Imperialis'''. Knights which are sworn to the [[Omnissiah]] are known as '''Questor Mechanicus'''.{{Fn|11c}} Knights themselves are operated from [[Knight Household]]s, also known as '''Questoris Familia''', located on [[Knight World]]s.{{Fn|22b}} Pilots of Knights are known as '''Knight Scions'''.{{Fn|8}}

==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|29c}} Smaller Knights given to Bondsmen, such as [[Armiger Knight|Armiger]]s, use a less advanced [[Helm Mechanicum]] to achieve this same effect.{{Fn|11e}} In order to interface with a Throne or Helm Mechanicum an individual must have an [[augmetic]] port at the base of their skull, a pre-frontal cranial cortex.{{Fn|35a}}

*[[Knight Asterius]]: Armed with a pair of twin Conversion Beam Cannons. Additional weaponry includes a back-mounted Karacnos Mortar Battery and two Volkite Culverins.

*[[Knight Porphyrion]]: Armed with [[Twin-Linked]] Magma [[Lascannons]], either a carapace-mounted [[Ironstorm Missile Pod]]s or [[Helios Defense Missiles]], as well as a pair of [[Autocannons]], [[Lascannons]], or [[Irrad-Cleansers]].
