| The Paladins fall under the direct command of the Consul. Created in the third year of [[Jac Cotelin|Cotelin]], at the dawn of the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]], their purpose was to uphold the Clan ethos and stand as a shining example of what an active member should strive to represent unto the [[Clan]]. Through them, the [[Clan Summit]] would encourage additional activity and discipline -- creating a series of role models that were very public not only within the Clan, but also to the other Clans watching from the distance. Additionally, it served as a way to reward the members in a manner that was both professional and beneficial to all included. For while the duties of such a member were increased, it was with reason. | | === The Order of the Scholae Empire === |

| As the crushing Fist of Palpatine, the Dark Paladin personified the terrors of Sith Lord. Always the first to war, The Paladin would hold high the banner of the Clan, drawing the troops onward. So too, in times of peace this tenacious Member worked undyingly for the Clan. To display this, the Member was given a set of privileges to help them help the clan.
| | Recipients of the Dark Paladin award are automatically inducted into The Order of the Scholae Empire, an order of chivalry for those whose contributions to the empire go above and beyond rank and file duty. Membership of the Order of the Scholae Empire carries very little real power beyond what the Dark Paladin award does already, but does come with post nominal letters, suitable only for within-system communications, to mark the individual's status within the clan. While the award is typically only awarded to the Dark Jedi of Scholae Palatinae, the Order of the Scholae Empire is visible to the civilian populace, publicly marking those who have made significant contribution to the Empire. |

| ==Rights and Responsibilities==
| | Upon first receipt of the Dark Paladin award, the individual is named a Member of the Order of the Scholae Empire, and are entitled to use the letters 'MSE' after their name for within-Cocytus communications, e.g. Evant Taelyan MSE. A paladin who continues to contribute at the same level to the clan will be elevated to the next level within the order upon receiving the award again. Upon receipt of the highest title, one may find 'Lord' frequently attached to the start of their name by the common folk, but typically not by other members of the Dark Brotherhood or military officers. |

| The Paladin of new is awarded a status equivalent to that of an [[Aedile]]. This is meant for means of communication (encouraging activity), responsibility (monitoring IRC and Message Boards) and mentorship (training new and old members alike).

| All Paladins are granted access to restricted sections of the Clan Headquarters that are normally reserved for the Clan Summit alone (minus the personal quarters of the Clan Envoy, [[Proconsul]], and [[Consul]]). This privilege is granted for access into the Paladin’s Chambers and the additional security needed to safeguard the Lords of Scholae Palatinae.

| | A newly appointed Paladin is given an elevated status within the House. They are allowed to help moderate issues within the House, monitor IRC and Message Boards, and help train members as they see fit. |

|
| Additionally, to the in-Clan chambers, they are granted the option of constructing their own castle, which they may claim as their own. This can be used for recreational, living or training purposes - in many ways it resembles the Praetorian Guard’s barrack just outside of Rome. Only Paladins are admitted into this complex, unless someone has a personal invite.
| | Because only the most capable and trusted are awarded this, they are allowed new freedoms within the Cocytus System itself. They are allowed access to the more restricted sections of the House Headquarters (areas normally reserved for Summit only). They can move their personal quarters to the Hall of the Paladins, a Paladin only complex with lavish rooms, sparring rooms and meditation chambers. The Hall of the Paladins also comes with its own staff of servants and slaves. Upon elevation to Officer of the Order of the Scholae Empire, they are allowed to construct their own personal castle in system. This castle can be used full-time or as a retreat for rest and relaxation. |

| Penultimate rites are confined to ship selection. In times of war or peace, these warriors are allowed to choose their weapon of war. At any time they may commandeer a vessel in the name of the Consul. This privilege may only be enforced during times of war or in the event of aggressive action.
| | Paladins are also given rights to utilize any of the ships under the command of the House, save for the Star Destroyers. In times of war, Paladins can choose which vessel they use in combat, or serve upon. In times of peace, if they have a need of a ship, they are given priority clearance to the vessel of their choosing. |

| Finally, the final honor of a Dark Paladin is the award of an extremely fine weapon crafted in the mines that pocket [[Judecca]]’s surface in the North. The grandest of weapon smiths is given a block of steel and instructed to build a weapon worthy of a great warrior. They labor in their forges for many days, pouring their will into the metal, crafting its’ edges to perfection and decorating it ornately before the day it is presented to the wielder. | | Finally each Dark Paladin is given a finely crafted plaque created from materials mined on [[Judecca]] itself. The plaques grow more and more lavishly decorated the higher circles a Paladin rises to. They are given as a permanent reminder of the deeds and greatness that brought the Paladin to where they are now. |

|
| The Paladins are also granted the free reign to build upon their existence in the form of crusades, additional details, ranks and dynamics approved by the Clan Leader. It is the hope that this Elite Fraternity will develop into something that is self-productive and ultimately becomes the standard within Scholae Palatinae’s way of life. There also stands the chance that, at a later date, a High Paladin may be named to continue generating additional material and emphasis on the benefits of attaining such a rank. Until then, it is the mission of the First Paladin to accept responsibility for his newly minted position as those join him at a later date. | | The Paladins of Scholae Palatinae are an elite fraternity of the very best. Together they are expected answer the calls and duties of the House they serve, but in return they are given the very best of opportunities. In some cases, Dark Paladins have gone on to leave Scholae Palatinae for other units. In these cases, the title, and the rights that come with it, are suspended, but not permanently removed, as the Dark Paladins' mark on the clan will remain forever. |
