The Knights of Karock emerged not from empire or conquest, but from catastrophe.

Their genesis occurred during the 'Age of Collapse', an era when vast galactic civilizations crumbled under the weight of their own ambition. Amidst the wreckage on planet Karock, a lone figure known as Avok Buox arose to unite its survivors.

Avok Buox, once a war general cast out for opposing genocidal doctrine, gathered warriors, monks, scientists, and exiled tacticians from broken worlds and carved a singular ideal into their hearts known as the Vallah Rule. A codex that bound its followers to principles of duty, justice, and above all, honour. Karock itself was a planet of extremes, mountainous crags, scorched deserts, and subterranean oceans, where only the relentless could survive. It was here, in the ash and silence of fallen cities that the Knights trained. They were taught not merely to fight but to endure, to protect, and to carry valour

into the darkest corners of the galaxy.

The Knights were clad in modular exo-plate Armor forged in the furnaces of the planet’s inner core, each embedded with symbolic glyphs, marking personal oaths and trials. Their weapons were crafted from rare-phase alloys capable of cutting through even shielded Armor. Over time their influence expanded, they became

guardians, arbitrators, and warriors-for-hire .

At their peak, the Knights numbered in the tens of thousands. Stationed across conflict zones they were deployed to uphold peace or stand in defence of the oppressed. Their stellar bastions known as the Karai Vadas orbited strategic planets, serving as hubs of diplomacy, training, and war readiness. No king commanded them and no fleet outmatched them. but pride, often invites a fall.

The Curak arrived not with war declarations but with silence, precision, and apocalyptic intent. Born of bio-engineered entropy, the Curak were not one species but a genetically harvested swarm of beings designed for one purpose: to devour structured civilization.

They moved without communication, without fear. Their fleets were comprised of living ships, pulsating with internal nerve-clusters and acidic hulls. Their warriors called Dismantlers were fast multi-limbed horrors that fed off synthetic energy, and neural pain.

They descended upon the Karai Vaults bypassing defences through phase breaches and gravity ruptures, slaughtering whole stations before the Knights could mobilize. The Great Vault of Karock, the original stronghold, was breached in seven minutes. Of the Prime Circle, five Grand Chargers were destroyed. Over seventy percent of the order was lost in the first wave. Entire battalions of Knights were swallowed whole, their oaths silenced beneath shrieking void. The Vallah Rule was all but extinguished.

Survival came not through brute strength but through strategic retreat and unexpected alliances. Fragments of the order scattered across the systems, regrouping in hidden enclaves on uncharted moons, ice worlds, and deep-crust bunkers, but It was during the exile that help came.

Vixens from The Galactic Justice the sisterhood of elite Martian warriors, long allied in skirmishes of justice and counter-terrorism, offered covert evacuation and tactical intelligence. They provided safe houses, smuggling routes, and a communications relay buried beneath Phobos, allowing surviving Knights to coordinate again.

Veterans of a planetary genocide, The Casualties of Mars saw the Knights' suffering as kindred. Their engineers refitted shattered Karock Armor with Martian tech, while their black ops agents retrieved lost archives of the Vallah Rule from war-torn systems.

Rough, unorthodox and chaotically loyal to the underdog, The Zone Warriors smuggled weapon caches, extracted injured Knights from Curak strike zones, and fought at the vanguard of multiple rescue missions, without ever asking for recognition.

Through these alliances the order was rekindled. The First Reforging took place in the Molten Spire of Helion, where surviving Grand Charger Callanous Jagget declared the rise of The Prime Order, A new evolution of the Knights, committed not only to upholding the Vallah Rule, but to preventing the rise of existential threats, before they could manifest.

The Knights of Karock do not speak of their near-extinction. They wear it. Their Armor is darker now, inlaid with red streaks honouring the lost. Their tactics have adapted, honour still guides them, but pragmatism defines them. They continue to train in the temple-forges of reconstructed vaults, reclaiming lost Karock technology from dead worlds whilst enforcing The Vallah Rule where no one else dares stand.

They walk among broken colonies, failed governments, and deep-space ruins, not as saviours, but as witnesses of what unchecked power can do.

The Knights of Karock were forged in battle, broken by monsters, and reborn by the will of those who refused, to forget their purpose.
