Knights of the First Cross
The Knights are both a religious monastic order and a regimental-sized mercenary unit. Its members, who are often military veterans, will also take holy vows of poverty and obedience to the Turin Church and Solomani Cause. They are fanatical believers in the Solomani Cause and the racist Solomani supremacist theology of the Church of the First Cross.
They have been hired by planetary governments, individuals or corporations for various ‘crusades’ where the enemy are non-Solomani Humans, aliens or their supporters, as well as the occasional unbeliever.
The group operates legally in the Solomani Confederation and several allied client states. It operates in small units under various aliases in the Imperium where the Imperial Ministry of Justice have designated it a terrorist group due to its alleged involvement in atrocities.
