→History
During the early [[Great Crusade]], the [[Rogue Trader Militant]] [[Bastian Jeffers]] discovered the first [[Knight World]] and many were subsequently sought out and assimilated into the fledgling [[Imperium]]. Later during the [[Horus Heresy]], many [[Knight World]]s and their [[Knight House]]s pledged their banner to the traitorous [[Warmaster]].{{Fn|11a}}
In the current [[Age of the Imperium]], these Knights will often fight alongside the Titans and can form a reserve of troops which can be called up into the [[Titan Legions]] when required. Each Knight is piloted by a noble of the Knight Worlds, these worlds having maintained their feudal societies over the millennia. Indeed, the acquisition of technology enabled the warrior nobility to strengthen its position of power on their worlds.{{Fn|1}} Some Knights do not owe allegiance to any House, and instead wander the galaxy as [[Freeblade Knight]]s.{{Fn|4}}
