Knight Preceptor

Within the Knightly houses, the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next is a sacred duty, and the Knight Preceptor exists to embody it. These machines are entrusted to experienced pilots of proven wisdom, warriors who have survived enough battles to have earned the right to teach. A Preceptor rides to war not only to fight but to observe, to counsel, and to shape the raw courage of younger scions into true martial mastery.

The Preceptor carries a las-impulsor, a weapon of tremendous range and power that can charge to unleash a devastating overcharged blast. Alongside this primary armament, the machine mounts support systems that allow it to aid nearby Knights, repairing damage and steadying resolve in the heat of battle. In this way, the Preceptor extends the strength of the entire household.

To be assigned a Preceptor is a mark of high honour, for it signals that a scion's peers trust them not merely to fight but to guide. Many of a house's greatest heroes spent their twilight years enthroned within a Preceptor, ensuring that their hard-won lessons would outlive them in the deeds of those they trained.
