Basic information
The Knights are a PA that roleplays (or just plays)
As an order of feudal Star Wars Knights (not necessarily Jedi)
Our system is based on that of the Dragonlance game or book series Solamnic Knights, with some interesting modifications made for Star Wars- for instance the Bandit Knights are our Criminal Group, and The Craft Guilds are our Merchants. We also have the Jester's Guild, whom are our entertainers. We try to have a mature community, rp is preffered near our HQ, as we are going to try to make it in an RP based town. Each member will recieve assistance, and we will be involved in PA wars for territory. I do not want to make this PA overly large, as my experience with Online Guilds is then you become a statistic, rather than a friend and comrade (with a few select exceptions.)
I wish the PA to have a Maximum of about 50 people, and we will expand from there if we need to. We hope to have allies.
The territory we gain will be divided amongst our members, and given to them as fiefs. Unlike real work fuedal systems, we will not have in guild wars between members. Also, we are not a monarchy, we have an elected council of the Knights of the Rose (all of those players i believe will be worthy of election) and they will operate as the internal decison makers. I will also attempt to have a legal system based on the Knights of Solamnia, in which , within reason another Knights honor can be called into action if they are deemed to perform corwardly acts (the Bandit Knights will be excluded from this.) Cowardly acts could be anything from fleeing from a fight, to attacking someone from behind. Other matters taken to a council would be things such as rude,or immature behavior, or attacking other clan members. |

A further explanation of our orders is in order now (pun intended) i should think.
First every order other than the rank of squire (explained later) is required to pay a tithe. a tithe is essantially like a PA due. I wish to be very flexible in this regard. for instance, if you dont want to pay in credits, you could always donate equipment hand-me-downs, or services such as merchants building a specific droid for a specific function. Your alts can also pay your tithe if you would like (in other words i will only require one Tithe per account in the Knights, not per character)
The orders in the knighthood are like ranks in a normal PA, with a few exceptions (for instance there are postions within an order)\
Probabationary is the lowest (but you will only get put there if you do something wrong)
with The rose being the highest. Before any member can become a knight, he must serve as a squire. The order of the knight you serve means nothing, however the higher the order you are, the more likely you will have a squire. The squire is by no means that Knights slave, and they cannot demand that their squire fill their tankard, or polish their weapon. However, the knight that employs the squire will be the one speaking for the squire in front of the Council of Squires (our equivlant of a recruitment office.)If the squire has been deemed to have served well, he will become a Knight of the Crown, and be assigned to a posistion deemed by the council of sqires. Squires keep in mind, your postion is dependent upon the Knight you served speaking. Only honorable knights will get a squire, and only those that wish to take on that responsibilty, for those knights must remember that part of having a squire, is teaching him the ropes, and helping him however you can, including helping that squire gain skills, or credits (you do not have to drop everything you are doing to help him however.)but it should be expected that a reasonable amount of time is spent assisting the Squire. If the Squire REALLY wants to make an impression, he or she can travel around with the Knight, and role-play the role of a squire. That will mean alot more to the council than whether you can solo 10 stormtroopers at once or not.

The benifits of Knighthood
The benifits of Knighthood are many:
--First you will be given land, and allies by which to assist you defend it. for instance if a fellow Knights "fief" came under attack, as many knights as could rush to their aid, with the assistance of their soldiers.
A fun, mature rp based envirmoment.
--One of the few oppournities to role-play anything similar to Dragonlance on the Internet. (especially anything with flasy 3d graphics, and thousands of players)
--Resource sharing between like minded players, and lots of good equipment assigned to you.
-- Chance to make a difference in the Galaxy, and overthrow the galactic Empire.
-- Chance to be part of a Unique approach to a PA, and one that has not been cliched and done before.
-- The only chance you will have in the modern world to be part of a feudal society
-- Lots of fun, like minded individiuals, who enjoy SWG as much as you do.
-- A caring and dedicated command staff, with a selection process that makes sure that they are going to be an productive active part of the community.
-- A PA where you are not just a statistic, and Leaders who carry that as part of our mission.
-- Any race/proffesion may apply, and join.
-- A chance to be part of a PA who plans to be one of the major movers/shakers of the galaxy.
-- So many listed here, need i say more.
-- if these reasons arent enough, i dont know what else could convince you.
