So many Knight Worlds were founded during the Dark Age and were brought up to STC levels of sophisticated colonies, given they were basically part of Mankinds Mech Suit exploration arm. Many did survive the Old Night intact.
This makes sense given Dutonis basically gave us 3 entire STCs in exchange for a pledge of worlds. I'm inclined to believe that Knight Worlds are just fundamentally different from Medieval/Fuedal Worlds in the Imperial taxonomy and level of sophistication but if someone can prove me wrong please tell me.
Onto the Dreadnoughts.
