TLDR Knight Run backstory:
Humanity are fighting “beasts”,think of them like the zerg of starcraft or the bugs in starship troopers. Beasts invade worlds colonized by humans then start to suck up all of the resources of the planet (this is called erosion) until it is inhabitable to humans. Most of the beasts are made through automated factories called “plants”. The higher ranked ones are given birth through an artificial womb of the queen. The strength of a beast is based on its number, the lower the number the stronger it generally is, so a type 1000 is weaker than a type 99. Above them all are the strongest called type zeroes.
Type zeroes come in all shapes but they all have the strength that can rival that of an entire fleet. They are equipped with their own noshim cores (basically a biological nuclear powerplant) which gives them an unparalleled speed and access to their own personal barriers which is nearly impenetrable by most means.
In order to fight against type zeroes “mother knight” (this is a person) made anti-barrier (AB) swords. The people who specialize in using them are called “knights”. Knight are basically the best warriors than humanity has to offer which includes those who have paranormal power or have special abilities that can be used to fight against type zeroes. Knight by themselves can’t fight against the beasts alone. The sheer number of beasts that plants can produce can quickly tire out most knights. Knight are therefore almost exclusively used to fight against high ranked beasts since a single high ranked beast can do crippling damage to most fleets. The rest of the beast are then taken care of by the rest of the forces.
Some jargon that are occasionally used:
Jamil Engine/organ – Biological ECM device
Dolls – Androids
Defensive coats – garments used by knights that serves as their armor. Sometimes called DC coat in TL
Phenomenon weapons – weapons that can break the laws of physics. (OP)
Masterpiece swords – swords made by mother knight that are well made
