Overview: Inspired by the medieval knights of old, these gallant warriors of Polania bridge the gap between the light but vulnerable infantry and the tough but bulky mech units. The signature clanking of their plates and joints in the near distance signal to all that the knights of Polania have arrived.

These soldiers wear light mechanical suits armed with a powerful drum-fed cannon as well as a small shield to deflect incoming fire. They are considerably less bulky and intimidating than their Saxony counterpart the Pkp 17 "Eisenhans" with much less armor plating but they move with unsurpassed grace. Instead of being encased in thick armor, the pilot is more or less strapped to the front of the main hydraulic framework with a heavy face-mask and some lighter plates covering parts of their body.

Capabilities: These mechanized infantry excel in front-line combat. Their armor is not the strongest, but gives them the speed to move with the front-lines and take hits that would eviscerate normal infantry. Their cannons deal steady damage to enemy armor, especially in groups, so as with many Polanian units they excel at hit-and-run attacks, armor harassment, flanking, and can quickly adapt to a changing battlefield situation. They sacrifice armor for speed and agility, so they cannot take much of a beating. They also have relatively short range, but their speed makes it easy to close the distance and avoid incoming artillery.

Deployment: Deployed by the Polania Republic, the Rycerz is actually not used much by the primary land forces of the Republic, but is instead used by the various military orders established by Parliament. These orders recruit from the land forces and are integrated into command structures, but are responsible for their own training, provisioning and support. Typically sponsored by the wealthier families of the Republic, some also are religious orders.
