OOC<br/><br/><br/>The third force listed is the Sisters of Battle, I am currently going to allow a total number of 4 Battle Sister characters. For clarification Battle Sisters are given 50 points to assign to their stats. With no maximum to what their stats can be.<br/><br/>They are also given 20 points to use towards their Wargear/Abilities. Each entry on the Wargear/Abilities list has a description of what that item is, a description of what effect it will have on your character in game, a cost in points (to be deducted from your allotted 20), and a Supply listing which represents how many of those items there are for a specific character class. For instance if there is 1 weapon A for the Tactical marine, and 1 weapon A for the Scout this does not mean that only one of them can have weapon A. It means that both a tactical marine and a scout can have weapon A.<br/><br/>If there are any questions feel free to ask.<br/><br/><br/>-IC-<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">Elements of <em>The Order of Our Martyred Lady</em> of The Adeptas Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) </span><br/><br/>The Adepta Sororitas (also "the Sisterhood" or "Daughters of the Emperor") are an all-woman subdivision of the religious organization known as the Ecclesiarchy  or Ministorum. The Sisterhood's Orders Militant serve as the Ecclesiarchy's fighting arm, mercilessly rooting out corruption and heresy within humanity and every organization of the Adeptus Terra. The Sisterhood serves as Ministorum's only official military forces because the Decree Passive rules that the Ecclesiarchy cannot maintain any men under arms. This was supposed to limit the power of the Ecclesiarchy. However the Ministorum were able to circumvent this decree by using the all-female force of the Sisterhood.<br/><br/><strong><br/>The absence of faith is the mark of the weak.<br/><br/>The absence of faith is the mark of the heretic.<br/><br/>The absence of faith is the mark of damnation. </strong><br/><br/><strong>Advantages:</strong>Clad in power armor, and armed with the best weapons that the Ecclesiarchy can provide the Adeptus Soroitas is a force of elite warriors. Each woman is trained to fulfill a task in battle so that when working together the Sisterhood is able to overcome many foes. They are religious zelots who view failure and cowardice as a sin. Sisters entering battle know that their fellows would rather die to a woman than surrender.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Disadvantages:</strong>While equipped with power armor the Sisters of Battle are not gifted with the genetic and cybernetic modifications of the Space Marines. Nor do they have the numbers and support of the Imperial Guard.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l280/Khorothis/BattleSister.jpg)</div><em><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Battle Sisters (Infinite Open Slots):</strong></span></em>Battle Sisters are recruited solely from the female progena of the Schola Progenium  facilities spread across the galaxy. They are orphans of the Imperial servants who have given their lives in the service of the Imperium. While being raised within the Schola they receive a strong Ecclesiarchy upbringing and education, coming to regard the Emperor  as their spiritual father. Progena recruited into the Sisterhood are indoctrinated even further into the Imperial Cult, becoming even more fiercely devoted to the Emperor  and the Imperial cause. Their duty as part of the Sisterhood is to ensure and enforce the physical and spiritual purity of humanity and the departments of the Adeptus Terra. As they share the same role as the Ordo Hereticus, Battle Sisters often form a major part of Ordo Hereticus forces.<br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_u">Power Armour</span></em>:Sisters of Battle  use a lighter, less bulky version of power armor.
