Fiction:Mendel Pact/Knight Orders

The Mendel Pact hosts a number of knightly orders dedicated to helping others, and spreading religious tolerance and prosperity, while dedicating themselves to a certain religion, stemming from the Mendel's "take-it-and-role-with-it" attitude towards other religions of their members and allies. Often, these Orders have Chapter-houses located on certain planets stemming from their central territory, and have chapter houses located in territory belonging to nations with similar religious believes, with their permission, of course. All Knight orders follow certain laws, derived from their United Codex. Every chapter world must have 1000 knights, no more, and no less. They can, however, deploy any number of support militia forces and squires, knights in training.

Knight Orders often act in support of the Mendel Pact or allies who share an Orders' religion. Due to their small size, Orders must train their members thoroughly so their chapter can maintain their size. Chapters are banned from fighting each other. If 2 religious groups happen to fight each other, and 2 opposite chapters are involved, the 2 will leave the natives to fight their own battle, instead of killing kinsmen, or, more likely, try and help resolve it.
