Knights of the Void

The Knights of the Void, also known as the Equites Inanis and Ippotes tou Kenou, is a military organization in the Void and one of the largest organizations there, with the others being the Void Coalition and the Indepol Group. As a military organization independent of other nations, the Knights of the Void is tasked with protecting the various worlds and nations of the Void as well as performing military, humanitarian, peacekeeping, reconstruction and development operations, but also containment and security operations.
Its roots go back to the times of the Void-Light War, where a number of orders rose up to fight the Armies of the Light and later evacuating the followers of the Old Faiths from a number of nations, especially the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, where fear of the Old Faiths' followers would result in oppression. These orders were formed from religious leaders, military personnel and thaumaturges though some civilians such as engineers and cooks were also involved in assisting them in feeding and building. The Crisis of the 13th Eon would put to the test the cooperation between various orders, which recognized the need of proper coordination and a unified and semi-decentralized organization. When the Knights of Meriana, who once protected the Kingdom of Meriana from all evil before being forced to evacuate their people from the newly-risen Death Cults, joined in they demonstrated that they must unite before all is lost. The meeting led to the formation of the Knights of the Void.
The organization faced challenges during it existence, especially the Chaos of the 25th Eon (in reality the Chaos of the 21st Eon) where it fought the Galactic Imperium on the losing side of the Void Coalition before the Novayans (who until their intervention had to deal with an ongoing economic crisis) unleashed Frodbrokna that shattered the Imperial Military's capabilities to launch coordinated offensives due to the presence of numerous warp storms resulted from the effects of Frodbrokna; after the warp storms, warp hurricanes and warp typhoons became common, the Order of the Starwatchers and the Order of the Spatialweavers were created to help deal with these spatial storms.
