Knights of the Crescent Moon

"We shall become Knights of our fallen Republic; of our fallen heroes. We shall restore their honor with by proving our own."

- Teague Jansen

The Knights of the Crescent Moon, also known as the Crescent Knights, was an affiliation of freedom fighters and mercenaries formed on the planet Sonos following the execution of Order 66 and the formation of the Galactic Empire.

Formation
The Crescent Knights were formed by a loose group of individuals who joined forces in opposition to the Galactic Empire and the Great Jedi Purge. Its founding members encountered a Jedi Knight on Sonos, though he was killed by stormtroopers of the 42nd Assault Corps. To honor his memory and preserve a sense of justice in the face of evil, the locals agreed to become freedom fighters, and founded their organization within the abandoned Temple of the Crescent Moon, taking its name as their own.

Teague Jansen became the first Master of the Crescent Knights, serving as their leader during the group's early days. Initially, its range was limited to Sonos itself, but as numbers of Crescent Knights increased, so too did their range, and it soon spread beyond the Sonos system.

One of the Crescent Knights' earliest missions was a daring raid against the 42nd Corps garrison on Sonos. The strike was carried out in the dead of night, and the Knights were successful in destroying the garrison's munitions dump as well as numerous stormtroopers and several grounded V-wing starfighters.

Principles
"We cannot touch the Force, or draw upon its power, but I believe it guides us, all of us, setting us upon the right path."

- Teague Jansen

The Crescent Knights devoted themselves to the teachings of the Jedi Knights, who were by now all but extinct. Although none of the Knights were Force-sensitive, they upheld the Jedi Code and attempted to maintain peace and justice as the Jedi had in the Galactic Republic.

Membership
"We shall be the first, then. The first of many."
