Christopher Mably speaking about the Chevalier in Resolve.

Pandora of the Chevalier

The Chevalier (シュヴァリエ Shuvarie) is a supranational military organization dedicated to fighting the Nova.

Background[]

The Chevalier was founded in 2018 with the warning provided by Maria Lancelot. It is composed of many countries united in their mission to defend humanity against the invading Nova. With the help of Gengo Aoi, it developed the PandoraLimiter, and Stigmata to effectively combat the Nova, as well as being the founder of the Genetics academies. After graduating from a Genetics Academy, Pandora can choose to become active duty Chevalier and continue service, become an instructor at an academy, or retire from the military all together.

The organization itself is a military and political entity that makes important decisions regarding the Pandora project. The Chevalier has worldwide influence, shown when they were able to tarnish the reputation of the Mably Corporation. It's power is uncontested, as it is considered the only hope humanity has in the face of the Nova threat. Despite this, they are very concerned with public approval and support, to the point they will spend large sums of money and man power to appease the public's concerns. The L. Bridget family has been deeply involved in the Chevalier since its founding. The symbol of the Chevalier is a four-pointed star.

Chevalier Headquarters.

The Chevalier's base located at the Grand Canyon serves as its headquarters. High-ranking members of the Chevalier gather at this base to discuss important matters and make vital decisions.

This base was first featured in the 10th Nova Clash Arc. It appears again in the Valkyrie Introduction Arc and the Busters Arc.

Alaska Base[]

Located in a remote area of Alaska, the Alaska Base features both luxurious facilities, capable of not only housing Chevalier Forces but Genetic students as well, and well-equipped laboratories. It houses the Photon Generator - Solar Furnace which is the base's primary source of power. The E-Pandora Project occurred in this base. In the anime, Alaska Base was said to have once been a hotel and is covered by a partially open dome with an Oil Depot nearby.

The Alaska Base is the main setting of the E-Pandora Project Arc, E-Pandora Rebellion Arc and the 11th Nova Clash Arc.

Genetics Academies[]

These academies are built worldwide and are under the control of the Chevalier. The academies recruit, train, and monitor Pandora and Limiters for possible future service and recruitment into the Chevalier. Pandora in their 4th Year at Genetics become interns to the Chevalier.

The Chevalier assigns Marks Spencer as the supervisor for the E-Pandora Project. When Spencer and his adviser's plan backfire and sparks the E-Pandora to rebel, the L. Bridget family takes action before the Chevalier and sends a task-force of Chevalier Pandora, including such as Holly Rose, Louis L. Bridget, Su-Na Lee, and Gengo Aoi to assess the situation and take any measures necessary to restore order to the Alaska Base.

Valkyrie Introduction  Arc[]

Once the 11th Nova Clash is ended, the Chevalier blames Marks Spencer and Scarlett Ohara for the failure of the E-Pandora Project. Chevalier Commander Radox Phantomheim resigns in shame due to his support of the now disastrous E-Pandora Project. Despite these steps to save face in the wake of public criticism, it is noted that the Chevalier's reputation is irreparably damaged as a result of the clash. Alfred Hughes is elected to succeed Radox as Chevalier Commander while Gengo Aoi steps forward with his own personal plan, the Valkyrie Project, which Chevalier green lights.

Busters Arc[]

Main article: Busters Arc

After the conclusion of the 12th Nova Clash, the Chevalier have Gengo Aoi brought in for questioning. They demand an explanation as to why he had kept the Legendary Pandora a secret, and remind him that all Stigmata technology must be shared world wide. However, the scientist placates and convinces them that he was simply waiting for a more oppertune time to reveal them. For the moment, the committee accepts his excuses.

After learning that Gengo intends to create his own organisation to fight the Nova, which would render Chevalier obsolete, the committee agree that action needs to be taken lest they lose their authority. However, Chief Alfred Hughes, a long-time associate of Gengo, advocates a placid approach, prompting the others to take matters into their own hands. They contact former Commander Radox and ask him to assassinate Gengo, even providing the necessary personal and materials while leaving no connection in case the plot fails.

Exit Revenant Arc[]

Main article: Exit Revenant Arc

Despite Operation Cat Killer ending in failure, the committee did not sever ties with Radox. In fact, they doubled down on him for leadership and he was restored to his former position as commander of Chevalier. His first action was to label Gengo a traitor upon reviewing his "crimes" and began to prepare for an all-out war between Chevalier and the Gengo's organization, which had located itself at West Genetics.

After a traitor within Gengo's organization leaked that his forces were vulnerable, the Chevalier launched a full-scale attack on West Genetics with the combined forces of it's European and Asian Armies. However, they were caught off-guard by the sudden outbreak of the 14th Nova Clash.
