History
Knights Armada: A History The Knights Armada was established in 2802 by Imperator Marshall Leon as Defenders of the Faith. For over 150 years, we as Knights of Christ have traveled to the farthest reaches of the God’s Universe to ensure that evil shall never triumph over the righteous. We admonish one another to walk uprightly in our several stations in life and to leave a lasting impact on the Universe. Above all things, whosoever would be a Knight of Christ, choosing such Holy Orders, you in your profession of Faith must unite pure diligence and firm perseverance, which is so worthy and so holy, and is known to be so noble, that if it is preserved untainted forever, you will deserve to keep company with the martyrs who gave their souls for Jesus Christ. In this religious order has flourished and is revitalized the Order of Knighthood. This Knighthood despised the love of justice that constitutes its duties and did not do what it should, that is defend the poor, widows, orphans and the Holy Church, but strove to plunder, despoil and kill. God works well with us and our savior Jesus Christ; He has sent his friends from the Holy City of Jerusalem, who for our salvation and the spread of the true Faith do not cease to offer their souls to God, a welcome sacrifice. It is the truth that you especially are charged with the duty of giving your souls for your Brothers, as did Jesus Christ, and of defending the Universe from the unbelieving pagans who are the enemies of the Son of the Virgin Mary. We speak to those who secretly despise their own will and desire with a pure heart to serve the Imperator as a Knight and with studious care desire to wear, and wear permanently, the very noble armor of obedience.
