The Imperial Knights, also called the Knights of the Empire, are an order of Force-practitioners loyal to the Emperor or Empress of the Fel Empire. Fully trained in the ways of the Force and rejected the dark side of the Force, unlike previous Imperial Force-based organizations. Though they did not draw on the dark side, they did not strictly follow the light side either, and were viewed as Gray by the New Jedi Order. The Imperial Knights swore loyalty to their Emperor, serving the Force as embodied by him or her.
However, if the Emperor or Empress were to ever fall to the dark side, it was the duty of the Imperial Knights to either remove him or her from power or bring him or her back to the light, as ultimately, it was the Force to which they owed their allegiance.
The Imperial Knights were trained in many of the same philosophies and techniques as the Jedi, but differed markedly in their credos and methods. The Imperial Knights viewed the Force as a tool-a powerful one to be respected, but not one that they spent time contemplating and meditating on. They knew the dangers of falling to the dark side, and believed that the Force could not be used out of anger or selfishness. Managing one's emotions and controlling one's fear in the face of adversity was a paramount aspect of Imperial Knight ideology. The strict mental discipline and obedience to orders that was part of their training made Imperial Knights less susceptible to the strong emotions that would draw students of the Jedi over to the dark side.
Despite not drawing on the dark side, the Imperial Knights were said to not strictly follow the light side either, obeying the orders of the Emperor before anything else. As such, the Jedi viewed the Imperial Knights as "gray". The Imperial Knights were also considered Gray Jedi by the Jedi Order due to the Jedi's belief that they did not truly follow the way of the Force.
When Roan Fel died and his daughter Marasiah Fel had become Empress and a part of the new Galactic Federation Triumvirate. Emperor Fel's fall to the dark side was also kept secret from those who did not know due to political reasons.

"I sure pray this works." Marasiah said pressing some buttons and pulling down a lever.
Sounds of drainage and liquid came down from what looks like a cloning cylinder and the circular glass dome opens and out of it was Antares Draco.
"Yes!" Marasiah thought to herself.
She ran towards Draco and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Marasiah Fel askes in deep concern.
"Do you know who I am?" Marasiah asked firmly.
"I. . . am Antares Draco. Command of the Knights of the empire. In service to Empress Fel of the Fel Empire."
Marasiah smiled in relief. "Very good my love."
"It's good to be back." Antares said.
"The other knights will be in shock." Antares mentioned.
"You'll deal with it." Marasiah reassured Draco before give him a passionate kiss on the lips.
