Imperial Order of Jedi Knights (Jedi Renaissance)

An iteration of the Jedi Order, the Imperial Order of Jedi Knights was organized at the end of the conflict with the Eternal Imperium by Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan after the defeat of the Galactic Republic by the Eternal Alliance. Fleeing the galactic core as the Alliance took Coruscant, the Order's surviving members followed a band of Republic Senators and military personnel to Bastion in the Outer Rim, where administrative personnel of the defunct Sith Empire reorganized their governments in exile into the Imperial Remnant. Shan's Order began serving in a leadership role of royal defenders of the Emperor-in-exile, calling themselves the Imperial Knights and imposing order on the wilds of the northern galaxy. A Jedi-Sith alliance of royal defenders, the Imperial Knights wore red armor and defended the Remnant with white-bladed lightsabers, placing service to the Emperor above all else. When the Imperial Remnant retook Coruscant and reorganized itself as the Galactic Dominion, the Imperial Knights refrained from fighting in the conflict, standing back as the Dominion's military and Darth Krayt's Sith fought on the frontlines. Quickly, the Emperor Roan Fel was ousted by the Sith, forcing him and his Imperial Knights to flee Coruscant and return to Bastion where they were able to rally loyal soldiers to their cause to defeat the traitorous Supreme Leader Krayt. When Coruscant was retaken by Emperor Fel, he reorganized the Dominion into the Galactic Republic and the Imperial Knights reclaimed the old Jedi Temple. Under the leadership of Marasiah Fel, the new Jedi Order began instituting structural changes that brought the Imperial Knights more inline with the Jedi of old, serving the Force before serving the executive office of government.
