=== Description ===
The MachTek knight is the most commonly seen walker in use by the Imperial Fleet and the Imperial Army. Rugged, highly resistant with its heavy-duty shield generator and magical alloy armor, it served the Imperial forces for close to 300 years, with the most recent upgrade generally coming in the shape of weaponry replacement taking advantage of new technology from their new Confederate allies. Vastly superior to the Confederate ED series, all combat tests between the two ended with an overwhelming victory of the Sir Kay, it's Confederate callsign. Most imperial ships carry at least one walker, generally a whole 3 man squad, most of which are MachTek.
While the introduction of starfighters strongly limited the impact of Knight-class walkers in space combat, the Sir Kay remained an important part of the Imperial military doctrine in ground combat up until the end of the Imperial Civil War, all the way through the three major conflicts prior, the Protectorate War, the Grey War and the Korrenian Conflict.
