As a matter of fact, the “Adept of Sororitas” is the military Order of the church. It includes only women whose duty is to protect the Imperium from all sorts of threats. Their training takes place from birth, and their equipment is upscale. The sisters either wage war themselves or join the imperial armies. Although they are all called the "Sisters of Battle", it is fair to consider them to be the military wing.
How it all began
The church sent a fleet to explore the worlds, in the 36th millennium the world of San Leor was found. It turns out that there was a cult of women who worshiped the Emperor. They even called themselves "The Daughters of the Emperor." Nevertheless, they did not want to reckon with the church and refused to recognize its authority over themselves. Then the head of the church, Gog Vandir, decided to come to the planet himself and get acquainted with these women. At first he thought that there were some savages, but he discovered that this was a real army that could resist.
And then he had an idea. But what if these same Daughters of the Emperor become his personal army? He again made an appointment with them and decided to deceive them, citing evidence that he was blessed by the Emperor God himself. He gave his bodyguard an order to shoot him. However, no one knew that Gog Wandir had a protective field, and as a result, he remained unharmed. The women were so impressed that they brought the church a vow of fidelity, after which they began to be called the Brides of the Emperor.
Time for heresy
But Gog Wandir wanted more power than he had, and the war overtook many worlds. If someone refused to recognize the power of Wandir, then he was killed. Then he built a temple for the Emperor God, a sanctuary for him, the same buildings also in the name of himself. Fury raged in him, paranoia appeared, he sent the Brides to the battle, pouring all the blood of the innocent. The chaos almost came into reality, and the palace of Wandira, which was once a shrine, began to change little by little. No one could resist Vandir, and the Adeptus Astartes fought on the outskirts.
Sebastian
On one of the planets called Dimmamar lived Sebastian Tor. He was a preacher and directed his speeches against Wandir and bloodthirsty tyranny. He was an unrivaled speaker, and he was loved. Many people came to him, and followers appeared who helped him and hid him. Since some of the followers used to support Wandir, he became terribly angry and decided to destroy the entire planet. But there was a warp storm, and the force of the storm was very powerful. Although almost 5,000 years have passed since then, it still harms the region. Therefore, he was called the "Emperor's Wrath."
Soon, Sebastian had so many followers that Vandir felt a real threat to his power. In addition, the governor of the planet ordered the army and defense forces to obey Sebastian.
Sisters of battle
Thus, Sebastian, along with his troops, headed across the planets and preached against Vandir. Many masters and authorities supported Sebastian, so the storming of the palace was inevitable.
However, the attackers forgot about the Emperor’s Brides. They fought with fury and rage, and the victory, which was practically in the hands of Sebastian and his followers, was unattainable. General Custodes knew where the secret passages were. He made his way to Alicia, who at that time commanded the Brides, began to explain to her and give facts in support of the fact that Vandir was no longer blessed by the Emperor God, that he was in the hands of Chaos, but she did not believe him.
Then he transmitted for her an order emanating from the Emperor himself, so that she would appear to him in the throne room. Alicia immediately went there. Nobody knows what happened there. But when Alicia left the hall, she went to Vandir and executed him herself. After which she ordered her not to fight anymore. When the palace was taken, the brides could be executed. However, the Emperor gave a personal order to have mercy on them, and he also appointed Sebastian the new head of the church. He issued the so-called Decree of Submission, according to which it was no longer possible to have male creatures with weapons in the church. But everyone knew perfectly well that nothing could be done by faith alone, that those who would fight were needed. And Sebastian came to the conclusion that the Brides are perfect for this action, after which they received a different name: Sisters of the Battle.
Structure
In the "Adept of Sororitas" there is a division into two monasteries.
- The first of them is called Prioris, it can be found on Terra;
- The 2nd is called Santor, you can find it on Ophelia VII.
Commanding the Sisters of the Abbess. The abbesses of the monasteries are directly subordinate to the abbess; each monastery has orders and responsibility for a certain function.
Orders are large and small, a sister can move from one to another. You can separate them according to their duties.
- Actually, the Sisters of battle belong to the military order.
- The orders of Hospitallers include all kinds of doctors, nurses, as well as surgeons.
- The Dialogus can include scientists who know different languages or can translate something.
- Famolus - managers, diplomats, as well as advisers for the nobility.
There are other orders of the Adept Sororitas.
The Sabine sisters live somewhere on the borders. Most often accompanied by missionary expeditions. They are prophets, preaching the word of the emperor, can arrange a real religious revolution. In connection with the work carried out, they may not maintain contact with the Empire for quite some time. When the planets enter the Empire, very often such a Sister can become a mentor and spiritual leader of this planet. Ecclesiarchy refers to them as a secret service, so the church with the Inquisition has considerable disagreements.
Pronatus searches for different kinds of religions that are important for the church in some way, restores them and preserves them. Most often these are religious things, as well as quite valuable artifacts. Sometimes they can mend banners for military orders.
Vespila buried bodies, so its members are dressed in gray robes, most often shapeless. The cardinal is firmly convinced that the body of a deceased believer must be buried according to all customs. Why this is so important, no one knows, but they say that the cardinal has some kind of prophecy about the saint.
The Order of the Sabine Women works with missionaries, preparing the worlds that the Empire lost so that they return. Mostly they work as advisers in the courts and help the rulers arrange marriages. When missionaries appear, most often without great resistance the authorities accept the Emperor’s will.
Still small orders, among which the military can be distinguished: the order of the Bloody Rose, Silver Veil and so on.
Codex
The battle sisters in the Adept Sororitas are elite. They are raised from childhood and taught to adore the Emperor of Humanity. Their fanatical devotion is a stronghold against heresy, but as soon as the battle begins, they will not stop until their enemies are destroyed.
In battles, the Sisters go through fire, even death will not stop their rage. The death of associates only strengthens the determination of the Sisters. Dressed in ceramite armor, they carry weapons with which you can defeat enemies.
Sisters are trained to the limit. Wherever the enemies of the Emperor are, the Battle Sisters fight with faith. When there is no war, they divide their time between preparation and reverent worship of the Emperor. Indeed, disciplines are inseparable, since teachings and the study of tactics can hone the body and mind, only prayer can strengthen the spirit. This is most evident on the battlefield, where the Sisters call on the Emperor to help them in the fight.
The Adepta Sororitas Code says: Faith is a powerful weapon that leads them to exploits. The battle sisters cast fears out of their minds, summoning supernatural powers to defeat their enemies. The sisters believe that their faith is a weapon stronger than steel. If the Sisters join the battle, they will not stop at anything until they defeat the enemies.
Unfortunately, so far for the "Adept Sororitas" the code in Russian is not yet available, but you can find it on English-language resources.
Absolute faith in the Creed of the Emperor - Imperial Creed - allows the Sisters to accomplish the impossible on the battlefield. At the center of the Creed is the belief that the Emperor relies on his followers, but if the situation is bad enough, he will intervene. Faith is a shield that is stronger than any armor.
A game
Sisters are quite popular among gamers, and when any festivals take place, girls choose the cosplay of “Adept Sororitas” most often.
Gamers claim that for beginners, Sisters are not the best option. You can take them, but it will be difficult, since it is a really expensive army that requires some experience. They do not have the rigidity of the marines, the survivability of the necrons, or the firepower of the tau. However, they can be quite effective. Slowly build up the army of Sisters - over time you will have enough of them.
