Knights of Velyshaa

The Knights of Velyshaa were the military arm of the Velyshaan Empire. They maintained order within the empire, and worked to conquer many worlds. The Velyshaan Empire was eventually defeated by Earth in 3562, and its leader Sancroff was exiled.

Alternate timeline
In an alternate timeline created by the Sirens of Time the Knights rescued their leader and proceeded to build the Second Velyshaan Empire. The Knights captured the Temperon, and used the temperon particles it generates to gain time travel. However, prolonged exposure to temperon particles caused the Knights to slowly waste away. They proceeded to conquer whole galaxies and extract their life forces to sustain their decaying bodies. Their greatest triumph was the conquest of Gallifrey and the subjugation of all Time Lords to their life force extractors.

This timeline was destroyed when the Temperon locked the Sirens of Time in eternal combat, undoing the nexus points that allowed the rise of the Second Empire. (BFA: The Sirens of Time)
