 * "A legacy of Jedi who were famed for their powerful connection to the Force. Something of a small achievement, but having a strong connection can go a long way."

Family Structure
The House of Knights, also known as the Royal House of Chandrila, the Royal Family of Chandrila, Knights Family, or simply House Knights, is a Chandrilan Noble House that dated back to the earliest days of Chandrila's colonization. The family consists of both Humans and Korunnai. Beginning in 3643 BBY, the Knights legacy are famed for their powerful connection to the Force, extensive knowledge of learning powerful and advanced Force abilities, and their mastery of lightsaber combat, as well as their renowned piloting and hand-to-hand combat skills. By tradition, the family has been charged with compiling and protecting the history of the New & Old Jedi Order. Currently the family resides in the Knights Family Manor on the planet Chandrila.

When Damien Knights was born, he learned about his Jedi heritage, and continued on the legacy from which he married Korrah and helped Luke Skywalker form the New Jedi Order. Many Jedi of the Knights Family were known for their Nobility, healing abilities, combat skills, wealth, diplomats, scholars, as well as espionage, historians, even managing to develop Force abilities through practice and concentration.

Knights Family Manor Overview
The Knights Family Manor sits on grounds so vast that Damien has his own river flowing past his private chambers. When the grounds are first entered, there is a large lake filled with  Koi  of impeccable pedigree that have been raised in the Knights Family Manor lake for generations. The Koi are rare, three times larger than common variety and are brilliant gold. The graves of his parents, D erek and Alath Knights  are located on the grounds.

Security
The Manor is protected by a contingent of guards who dress in blue Jedi-like outfits and wear headbands with the Knights Family Emblem written on them.

Uniform
The security wear a distinct blue-colored outfit with white details, a similarly colored cape and a Lotus patterned mantle around the shoulders. They also have a flag, bearing an image of the Knights Family Emblem. Derek Knights, a former head of House Knights, seemed to have more to his vestments, with blue-colored armor and a robe under all of the other pieces.

Over the course of seventy years, the uniforms have changed slightly and vary according to rank. For example, the uniform of a Knights Family Security Guard includes a cowl with a small insignia on the front, whereas the uniform of a higher-ranking member does not include the headpiece.
