Knight

Knights hold a special place within the nobility. As the nobles most often encountered by common citizens, and the one title a citizen can readily aspire to, Knights are often seen as the most immediate face and voice of the Imperium.

Knights of all three types, Ceremony, Honor, and Landed, exist within the Imperium, but there are also Orders and Rank within the title. Most notably, not all Knights are recognized by the Imperium as a whole.

Retainer Knights are those named by a Subsector or Sector Duke to serve his or her interests and household.

Imperial Knights are those recommended to and confirmed by the Office of the Emperor, often with the consultation of the Master of any Order they were recommended to.

Every world in the Imperium, save those under interdict and worlds with no permanent populations, has an assigned Landed Knight. The specific title varies by region and the influence of Terran or other traditions.
