Iron Knight

The Iron Knights were Force-sensitive Shard that trained under the Sunesi Jedi Master Aqinos. Like all Shard, the Iron Knights required droid bodies to interact with the world, hence their name. They used Juggernaut War Droids, FLTCH series droids, and Uulshos Justice Droids as their hosts. Many Iron Knights took as their name that of lightsaber crystals, reflecting both their connection to the Force and their crystalline bodies.

Their first major appearance in the Galaxy was at the Arkanian Revolution, where they assisted a team of Jedi sent by the Republic to end the conflict. Many survived the Jedi Purge by hiding out on the planet Dweem.

They were later discovered by a group of students from the New Jedi Order, who put together clues provided by Callista Ming. After hiding out for 70 years, the Iron Knights were keen to rejoin the galaxy, and were accepted into the new Jedi Order without prejudice.

Iron Knights were on the front lines against the Yuuzhan Vong, and fought on the planets Osarian and Uffel&mdash;against the Red Knights of Life&mdash;and reportedly even saved Kligson's Moon. When Hosk Station was destroyed, some Iron Knights, such as Luxum were driven to the dark side.
