The Dusk Knights; Princess Twilight Sparkle's Guards

The Dusk Knights are the newest branch of the Equestrian military, founded by Princess Twilight Sparkle. As opposed to combat missions or regional defense, the Dusk Knights primarily concern themselves with intelligence gathering, and are in essence a network of scouts, spies, and couriers. As such, they have no formal headquarters, though their primary base of operations is in the small town of Ponyville, in a sub-basement of Friendship Castle.

Membership is open to all races, and even non-pony members may be inducted into their ranks. They wear no formal armor, instead using armors based around the other guard armors, and enchanted to alter the wearer's appearance to match. Members are required to keep their identities secret, and keep a civilian identity when not on duty.

All members of the Dusk Knights receive standard military training in addition to stealth and espionage, as they are sometimes inserted into standard guard units. They must be able to blend in seamlessly, and only a unit's commanding officer will be informed of the Knight's inclusion.

SPECIAL FORCES - THE DUSKBLADES

In addition to the standard Dusk Knights, there is a unit comprised of twelve unicorns known as the Duskblades. As Princess Twilight's personal guard, they protect Friendship Castle and are the only Knights with unique armor and public acknowledgement. Their armor is based on Captain Shining Armor's armor, including the starburst design on the chest piece. They are outfitted with magical foci designed and constructed by Twilight Sparkle herself, due to the costly and time-consuming process involved in creating them.

Princess Twilight personally chooses each Duskblade, based on their skill in both combat and magic. Though they protect the castle as a group, each Duskblade is secretly assigned one of Twilight's close friends as a priority.

Inspired by conversations with Blade and Alpha.

Neither Twilight nor myself are experts in military groups. All feedback, criticism, and assistance is welcome and appreciated.

As far as I can tell, this seems solid; if anyone has suggestions to improve it, they can certainly add them here; admittedly, this kind of things isn't exactly my area of expertise either.
Byddaf yn ymladd ar gyfer y rhai nad ydynt yn gallu ymladd drostynt eu hunain, ac yn dinistrio y rhai sydd yn fygythiadau i fywydau pobl eraill.

(I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, and destroy those who are threats to the lives of others.)
