Adepta Sororitas - Orders Militant Tactical Specialisations: Celestian - Celestians are battle-sisters who have proven themselves above and beyond the call of duty in their devotion to the Emperor during battle. The most experienced battle-sisters are granted the honorific of Celestian, marking them out as highly skilled veterans of hundreds of engagements and combats who often serve as bodyguard units for canonesses and palatines. Celestians are the equal of any other fighting force Humanity has to offer other than the transhuman Space Marines; they are greatly skilled, tactically experienced and resolute in their faith in the God-Emperor. The senior Celestians in an Order are called "Celestians Superior" and they aid the canoness superior with the day-to-day running of the order. They specifically act as administrative liaisons between the sisters superior of individual squads and the canoness, and may even lead battle-sisters into combat when the canoness is otherwise engaged.Seraphim - Only the very best battle-sisters are able to join the ranks of the Seraphim, the elite warriors of the Orders Militant. Seraphim receive special training and equipment and are the equivalent of Assault Space Marines. A Seraphim Squad is comprised of Sisters of Battle who are trained in using Jump Packs. They have the ability to fire two Bolt Pistols simultaneously, making them experts at close combat. Seraphim Squads are deployed as a fast attack squad with the Sisters of Battle. The squad can be accompanied by a sister superior. Occasionally Seraphim carry a pair of Hand Flamers (a single-hand version of the regular Flamer) or Inferno Pistols.Retributor - A Retributor is a standard battle-sister who is outfitted with their Order's heaviest weaponry. Believing that the Emperor Himself guides their aim, these sisters annihilate the Ecclesiarchy's foes with overwhelming firepower. Retributors are commonly armed with Heavy Bolters to provide long-ranged support to squads of battle-sisters, cutting down hordes of enemy infantry with a staggering rate of fire. However, in the close confines of urban warfare, or where the foe are wont to shelter behind armoured bulwarks, Retributors prefer to rely upon Heavy Flamers, unleashing searing infernos that burn their opponents out of cover and reduce them to charred corpses. Finally, completing the Holy Trinity of bolter, flamer, and melta weapon, Retributors are also adept at wielding deadly Multi-Meltas, whose roaring thermal blasts can reduce the mightiest of battle tanks into molten slag.Dominion - A Dominion is a standard battle-sister who utilises specialised weaponry such as Storm Bolters, Flamers, and Meltaguns. They are amongst their order's most aggressive warriors, driven by the need to destroy the Emperor's foes. Though their training has tempered the worse excess of their impetuosity, Dominions still yearn to fight at the fore of any Sororitas attack. As such the Orders Militant maintain several units who are almost solely comprised of such warriors. Dominion squads are the Sisters of Battle's shock troops and they are primarily tasked with leading the vanguard of Sororitas assaults, breaking through enemy front lines, destroying heavily defended fortifications and blunting the spearheads of any counter-attacks.Elohiem - As battle-sisters advance and gain both in skill and experience, they are granted the mark of the elohiem, meaning that they have willingly shed blood in the Emperor's service.Militant - The Sisters of the Orders Militant are the elite and merciless fighting arm of the Adeptus Ministorum and the Ordo Hereticus, and they are eternally vigilant and ceaselessly loyal to the Imperial Creed. This is the first rank earned by a battle-sister beyond the most basic after having begun combat operations with their Order.Battle-Sister - The battle-sister is the most basic rank of the Sisters of Battle achieved after a woman has completed her training as a novice, taken her vows to the Emperor and been assigned to a Militant Order.Sororitas Acolyte - Due to the close ties between the Ordo Hereticus and the Adepta Sororitas' Orders Militant, it is not uncommon practice for these sisters to serve the Inquisition as Acolytes for some part of their vocation. Sororitas chosen by their superiors for independent or detached service in this way are often among the most capable and self-sufficient of their noviciate class, deemed strong enough to endure the rigors and perils of such duty. These sisters often return to the Sororitas even firmer in their convictions and honed in their skills. Sororitas that survive long-term duties with the Inquisition are a very valuable asset for the Adepta in their war against heresy and faithlessness, and are often destined for future high rank.
