Orders Hospitaller - Orders Hospitaller: The Orders Hospitaller is a non-militant order of the Adepta Sororitas dedicated to healing and the provision of medical care for all the citizens of the Imperium of Man. Novice Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas who show a gift for healing and attending to the needs of others are often ushered into the ranks of the Orders Hospitaller.Amongst the most widely welcomed of the Adepta Sororitas, the Hospitallers are sent to war zones or disaster-stricken areas of the galaxy, providing the people of the Imperium with medical care and compassion when it is most needed.The Sisters of these Orders aid the poor and heal the sick and the wounded in the many hospitals and clinics across the Imperium operated as charities by the Sisterhood. Their convents often take the form of hospitals and retreats, and large numbers of them accompany the armies of the Astra Militarum. They are often found as part of an Imperial Crusade serving in battlefield hospitals on board warships in orbit.However, there are rare circumstances when they will go into battle with Imperial Guard troops to provide support in the field when a platoon's medic is wounded. It is these battle-hardened women that the members of the Inquisition look for to join their retinues as Acolytes. So skilled are the Sisters Hospitaller that they are regarded as saints by the common soldiery, who far prefer their gentle ministrations to the crude work undertaken by the field surgeons of the Departmento Munitorum. The Orders Hospitaller provides surgeons, physicians and nurses. The Sisters Hospitaller are amongst the most skilled and compassionate surgeons in the Imperium.Sisters Hospitaller often serve in conjunction with members of other Orders of the Adepta Sororitas. Their ability to heal and return wounded Battle-Sisters to the battlefield makes them invaluable allies of the Orders Militant, but their knowledge of genetics also makes them useful to Orders Famulous investigations. At the same time, their command of the anatomy of the human body often leads them to accompany an Inquisitor into the torture chamber.It is a true measure of their dedication to the Emperor that these supremely skilled and compassionate individuals are able to put aside all selfish thoughts of their personal morality and turn their hands to inflicting pain when duty calls them to do so. These Sisters display incredible healing skills and compassion towards the wounded and fallen, yet remain implacable foes to the Heretics, witches, and mutants around them.Traditionally, the Sisters of the Orders Hospitaller dress in light armour and healer's robes that allow for easy movement. For example, in the Calixis Sector, all but one of the Orders Hospitaller have some sort of crimson and bone colouring on their robes to mark them as medical staff. The Order of Quiet Sorrow on Sigurd IV alone wears a black and bone colour scheme in penitence for a past failing.Under normal conditions both the Order of the Torch and the Order of the Cleansing Water also wear dark robes with a broad crimson strip down the front, bordered with a bone shade. The Order of Serenity dresses in white robes with ruby red hems. Much like the militant orders, the Orders Hospitaller are divided between the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII, including the Order of the Eternal Candle and the Order of Serenity, and the Convent Prioris on Terra, including the Order of the Cleansing Water and the Order of the Torch.
