The Equitas Knights, also called the Equitas Order, was an order of Jedi created by the Jedi Guardian Leos Andel and Jedi Consular Reia Sarik. It was constructed as a means to keep the Regalis Imperium intact, and thus allied itself directly with the empire. It remained close with the empire, and kept its strong ties through the inclusion of the hereditary line of Sovereigns.
