The Inheritor's Knights

"'We serve the light. Be it for or against the Fairfax Kingdom's corrupt elements, the Gatekeeper Imperium's foul Asmodeans, or the Vast Void's monstrous cults, we bring the light where its needed. We are the shield for the people. It is our duty given us by the Inheritor herself.' High Paladin Tarnus, 3rd High Paladin of the Ring of Twelve."The Inheritor's Knights is a religious law enforcement group in the Sanctinus Galaxy. The organization as a whole worships the goddess Iomedae.

History
The Inheritor's Knights began as the first formal military of the Fairfax Kingdom. After defeating the Keeper Fleets that escorted the exploration and colonizing Imperium fleets, the Inheritor's Knights served valiantly for centuries until the Second Split. When the Tunguska Conglomerate formed, the Fairfax Kingdom went through a small reform which resulted in the Inheritor's Knights no longer being the formal military of the Fairfax Kingdom. They were instead relegated to a public figure force. Not wanting to sit idle and just be idolized for nothing, the Inheritor's Knights instead reformed into a galactic law enforcement group specializing in defending colony worlds and logistics routes.

While having constant disagreements with the Keeper Fleets as a law enforcement agency, the Inheritor's Knights have made an agreement with the Peacekeepers to provide emergency assistance when it was needed and to coordinate information to allow the Inheritor's Knights to deal with pirates and world hostage situations rather than spreading the Peacekeepers thin.

When the Inheritor's Knights reformed into a law enforcement agency, they famously remodeled their structure in accordance with older more archaic religious hierarchies. The Champion of Iomedae is the leader of the Inheritor's Knights, getting assistance from a personally selected council of twelve High Paladins, each of which operates their own division and fleet of the Inheritor's Knights. The High Paladins selects Paladins beneath him. Serving under the command of the Paladins are the Warriors. Squires are the recruits of the religious law enforcement agency.

While some respect the organization for establish an internal police force known as the Inquisitors, some question the motives of the Inheritor's Knights due to the existence of the Revenants, a special forces commando unit known to be a part of all divisions of the Inheritor's Knights. But these soldiers are rarely seen and often show to handle more subtle and sensitive situations like hostages or hostile occupations
