When the Dominionist uprising came about, a quarter of the order left and joined with the Dominionist movement. Because of this betrayal, Dominionist apologists are considered with disdain and disrespect within the Lunar Arrows in Sihian society.

 

==Purpose==

'''OUT ON THE FLEET:''' Their ships provide a mix of long-range fire, tending to stay in the back of battle lines. They often use their ships’ forward-facing guns as spaceship-sized sniper rifles. They normally aren't front line fighting craft, as they can't deal heavy damage to capital-class ships. Along with providing a unique role in being an orbital bombardment style of a ship, they are called to the scene in dire situations for when a specific planet needs glassing.

 

'''IN COMBAT:''' There is a saying commonly attributed to the skills of this order: “If you can see the Lunar Arrows, you're probably already dead. That, or something has gone horribly wrong.” It is a very accurate assessment of their skill level. They are generally a long ways behind friendly lines, using their mechs as mobile artillery pieces, mechs that range in types of artillery, from physical ballistic rounds to energy plasma-based rounds.

 

==Recruitment==

Recruitment begins with taking aspirants and putting them through many educational courses that involve high levels of math. This is to ensure that each aspiring knight will know how their shots will get affected by gravity and many other external conditions. Aspirants learn to do these calculations in their heads quickly, accounting for space combat and the effects of planetary gravity wells on rounds.
