History
The Adepta Sororitas or Sisters of Battle
In the 36th millennium, the then head of the church, Goge Vandire, launched a coup d'état which plunged the Imperium into a terrible civil war. After the usurper was deposed, the Imperium decreed that the church could no longer maintain any "men at arms". A literal interpretation of the decree's wording left a loophole permitting an all-female force, even if it violated the spirit of the decree, so in the 36th millennium, the church established the Adepta Sororitas, owing to the need of the Inquisition to have its own force to stamp out heresy in its many varied forms within and outside the Imperium.
Overview
The Sisters are led by an Abbess and are organized into Orders. There are Six main Orders and a host of smaller orders. As the militant arm of the church, they are tasked with suppressing witchcraft and heresy, and guarding the Imperium's shrine worlds.
They often work with the Inquisition, as their responsibilities overlap.
