| - The term Avisian Royal Military Order refers to the regiments of the Imperial Guard that originate on the Feudal World of Avisia, which are also commonly known as the Avisian Knights. Founded by a King of Avisia, St. Grigorio, who is now regarded the patron saint of the Royal Military Order, the regiments are primarily infantry and are known for their skill in close combat. While they are all capable of using the regular weapons of the Imperial Guard, the Avisians still follow the ancient tradition of swordsmanship established by St. Grigorio and train in the use of blades in addition to standard-issue Guard equipment. The Order is also heavily indoctrinated by the Imperial Cult and considers itself to be holy warriors fighting a Crusade for the God-Emperor, adding a religious zeal to the already high level of devotion to the Imperium, making them stand out for their fanaticism even in the highly-loyal Imperial Guard. Individual members of the Royal Military Order are generically referred to as Knights (Cavaliere) rather than the regular term Guardsman. Each regiment is led by a Commander (Commandante) and named after a famous leader of the Royal Military Order. Due to their lower numerical strength in comparison to regular Imperial Guard regiments, the Avisians were mainly deployed throughout Segmentum Obscurus against local threats, only seeing action outside of their native segmentum during emergencies.
