Adepta Sororitas

The Adepta Sororitas (also known as the Sisters of Battle) is a branch of the Ecclesiarchy of the Imperium of Man. An entirely female organization, the forces of the militant branches of the Adepta Sororitas are the soul standing army of the Ecclesiarchy, the Ecclesiarchy being banned from keeping "men under arms".

Orginization

The Adepta Sororitas gains most of its recruits from the Schola Progenium, an orginization that raises children (most notably Orphans) from an early age to serve the imperium militarally. It also provides the Imperial Guard with Commissars and Stormtroopers.

The field commander of a force of Adepta Sororitas soldiers is known as a Canoness.

Tactics and Equipment

While lacking the myriad biological enhancements of the Imperial Space Marines, the Adepta Sororitas have the resources to equip the Sisters with power armor. The Adepta Sororitas also makes heavy use of flame-thrower-based weaponry and in general prefer close combat.

For support, the Adepta Sororitas makes heavy use of rocket artillery as well as employing devices known as Penitent Engines.
