The Sternritter (星十字騎士団 (シュテルンリッター), shuterunrittā; German for "Star Knights", Japanese for "Star Cross Knight Band/Order") are a specific group of powerful Quincy in the Wandenreich's army, they act as the elite or special forces for the empire, and played a pivotal role in the invasion of Soul Society.
Organization[]
Each member of the Sternritter is appointed one of the 26 letters of the alphabet, by their monarch, in order to designate them. They are led by a Grandmaster, the previous holder of the position having been Jugram Haschwalth and while the current holder of the position is Anders Schäfer. In the strictest sense there can only ever be 26 Sternritter at any one time, though there were exceptions in the form of members sharing the same letter as was the case with Loyd Lloyd and Royd Lloyd, and, the Bonheur Brothers. Four members of the Sternritter are appointed as Elite Guards, though the process was originally done on a case-by-case basis decided by whom Yhwach believed to be worthy of the position, it has since been changed into a permanent role under Roshan Bamshad.

Uniforms[]
All members of the Sternritter wear a distinctive white, ankle-length cloak that features the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its back and often, a hood attached to the cloak's collar. Beneath this, the remainder of a personnel's attire usually consists of a heavily customized variant of the standard Wandenreich uniform — a white double-breasted trench coat tied with a black belt, worn with white trousers and boots.
Equipment[]
Bankai Stealing Medallion (卍解窃妙味, Bankai Settō Myōmi): A number of those within the Wandenreich military, including all members of the Sternritter, carry on their person a round device which is roughly the size of a person's palm and has the Wandenreich insignia etched into its surface. When activated, this device can steal a single currently released Bankai in the immediate vicinity. Once stolen, the medallion's wielder can use the stolen Bankai's power at will, even after the original owner's death. They appear unable to exploit this power fully, for according to what Yamamoto experienced, Driscoll Berci's use of Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū was noticeably inferior to that of its true owner, Chōjirō Sasakibe.
