History
The Dreadknights of the Void Order: A History
The Dreadknights of the Void Order are a feared and enigmatic faction within the Star Citizen universe, known for their mastery over the darkness of space and their deep connection to the unknown. Emerging from the shadows of the deep void, the Order was founded during the turbulent times following the collapse of several major interstellar alliances. The remnants of these fractured civilizations came together under the banner of the Dreadknights to preserve their ideals of order, discipline, and protection from the chaos of the universe.
Origins: The Shadow Lords of the Void
The roots of the Dreadknights trace back to the Void Lords, a secretive group that first appeared during the Tiberius Incursion, a chaotic period where piracy and lawlessness spread like a plague across the galaxy. Comprising former military officers, renegade bounty hunters, and mercenaries, these individuals sought solace in the isolation of uncharted space, away from the chaotic politics of the UEE and the growing threats from the Vanduul and other alien species.
They quickly adopted an order built on strength, honor, and secrecy. To them, the Void was not merely an expanse of empty space, but a place of great power—an arena where one could forge their destiny, away from the prying eyes of governments and corporations. The Void became their home and their temple, where they honed their combat prowess and forged their code.
The Order’s Rise to Power
The Dreadknights’ rise was not peaceful. Over time, they conducted covert operations that struck fear into both their enemies and their allies. While many viewed them as merciless pirates or mercenaries, the Dreadknights saw themselves as protectors—guardians who ensured the balance between the order of the universe and its inherent chaos. Their influence began to grow as they took on contracts from factions across the galaxy, offering their services as elite warriors, space-faring assassins, and enigmatic bounty hunters.
What set the Dreadknights apart from other mercenary groups was their deep commitment to the principles of discipline and loyalty within their ranks. The Order’s hierarchy was ironclad, with the Voidmasters, the leaders of the faction, maintaining control through a combination of fear, respect, and ancient traditions.
The Dreadknights’ emblem, a black knight standing tall in front of a swirling nebula, became a symbol of power, mystery, and fear across the galaxy. Their ships, modified with stealth tech and dark paint schemes, struck swiftly from the abyss, leaving only the faintest whisper of their presence behind.
The Dreadknights’ Philosophy: Darkness as a Weapon
The Dreadknights believe that darkness is not something to be feared but embraced. They view the vast, empty expanse of space not as a void to be filled, but as a place where they can thrive. This philosophy extends to their combat style—where others see the absence of light, the Dreadknights see an opportunity to strike fear into their enemies. Their tactics emphasize psychological warfare, using the threat of their deadly abilities to intimidate and dismantle enemies before the first shot is ever fired.
The Dreadknights in the Current Era
In the modern Star Citizen universe, the Dreadknights of the Void Order remain a force to be reckoned with. They operate both within and outside the law, depending on the nature of the contracts they take. Their alliances are transient, their loyalties few, but those who earn their favor find them to be fierce and unrelenting allies. Their enemies, however, fear the day they are targeted by the Dreadknights, knowing that once they enter the Void’s embrace, they may never escape.
As the galaxy continues to evolve, the Dreadknights of the Void Order remain a constant—a dark, ever-watchful presence in the cold expanse of space. Their history is marked by battles, betrayals, and unyielding resolve. They are the embodiment of the void itself: cold, unfeeling, but infinitely powerful.

Manifesto
Manifesto of the Dreadknights of the Void Order
In the endless expanse of the Void, where the stars flicker like the fleeting ambitions of lesser souls, we stand. The Dreadknights of the Void Order are not mere travelers of the cosmos, but its true masters. Born from the darkness, we claim dominion over the infinite, unyielding in our pursuit of power, knowledge, and the honor of the Void itself.
We are the unseen, the whispers in the dark corners of the galaxy, and the hand that pulls the strings of fate. In the cold silence between the stars, where others fear to venture, we thrive.
Our Creed:
1. Dominion Over the Void: The Void is our realm, its mysteries our domain. We will not cower in the presence of the unknown, but will harness it. It is not a place to be feared; it is a place to be conquered. The stars will align with our will, and the galaxy will bow to the might of our order.
2. Strength Through Unity: We are bound by our shared purpose, the creed of the Dreadknights. No lone star can light the dark, but a constellation, forged in fire and unity, can burn brighter than any supernova. We are the few who dare stand together in the infinite.
3. The Eternal Pursuit of Knowledge and Power: We seek not only riches, but the forbidden knowledge buried in the deepest parts of the universe. Each star system we conquer adds to our strength, each secret we uncover brings us closer to the ultimate power. The Void is not just a place, it is a path.
4. Honor in Darkness: We walk the line between light and shadow. To those who oppose us, we are a terror; to those who ally with us, we are a fortress. The code of the Dreadknight is one of strict honor—betrayal is the only sin that will bring our wrath. In the Void, your word is your bond.
5. The Legacy of the Void: Our Order does not merely exist in the moment. We are the architects of the future, the ones who will shape the galaxy with an iron will. The legacy of the Dreadknights will endure long after the stars burn out, carried in the whispers of those who fear and admire us.
Our Mission:
To carve our mark in the galaxy. To be the unseen force that shapes the course of history, not through brute force alone, but with the cunning and power drawn from the depths of the Void. We will expand our reach into every corner of the galaxy, from the brightest systems to the darkest recesses. Our influence will be felt in every political decision, every trade route, every corner of space. The Void is our birthright, and we shall reign supreme.
To All Who Dare Join:
The Void is cold and unforgiving, but for those with the strength to endure, it is also a place of infinite possibilities. We welcome only those who understand the harshness of our creed. If you are ready to embrace the darkness, to walk the path of the Dreadknight, then join us. But know this: the Void takes everything and gives nothing. It is a realm of power, but it is a power that demands sacrifice.
Together, we will reign as the true masters of the galaxy. Together, we will ensure that the Void is never silent, and that the stars burn forever in our name.
Dreadknights of the Void Order—We Are the Dark. We Are the Future.
