Dragoon Corps

The Dragoon Corps, or Baron Dragoons is one of the Eight Corps of Baron and was created by the ancestors of Kain Highwind. The Dragoon Corps is based in Baron and is currently led by Commander Kain Highwind.
Early in history, the Dragoon Corps were a powerful elite force, wielding lances and riding dragons in combat, but with the advent of airships, the Red Wings became the main attack force of the Baron Army, and the Dragoon Corps are now tasked with the defense of the castle of Baron.
With time, the Dragoons also trained their bodies to jump high as the dragons they once rode as a tribute to their ancestral history.
==Etymology==
The job's Japanese name is Dragon Knight . Dragon knights are commonly found in Japanese editions of Western fantasy novels as a translation for terms such as "dragon knight" or "dragon rider," referring to knights and warriors who ride on dragons.
The term was likely originally localized as "Dragoon" due to the game's job name length restrictions, and to avoid confusion with the Dark Knight class, which was localized as "D.Knight," though it may have also been confused with the Japanese term for the Dragoon .
