History

The Adepta Sororita, also known as the Sisters of Battle, are the military branch of the Ecclesiarchy, the theological body of the Imperial Faith in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Their direct history can be traced back to the Age of Rejection in the 36th millennium, a time of chaos and corruption within the Empire.
Believing that the Empire needed to be cleansed of evil, High Lord Goge Vandire took over both the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Terra and ruled with an iron fist. However, her reign was marked by tyranny, and it was during this dark period that the Adepta Sororita was born. Originally Vandire's bodyguard, they were known as the Emperor's Daughters before being incorporated into the Church. After learning of Vandire's corruption through the actions of preacher Sebastian Thor, they turned against him and played a vital role in ending his reign. This violent rebellion was known as the Kingdom of Blood, and from it grew the Adepta Sorority as champions of faith and purity. Their bravery gave them a unique place in the empire, where they are still a beacon of hope and a symbol of the emperor's resolve.
The Adepta Sororitas have grown over the millennia and split into different orders with different goals, but they all remain united after the Church. Fighting heretics, witches, and the impure with undying zeal, they become one of the Empire's most effective defenses against its many enemies. Their history is steeped in blood and faith, and they continue to write it in every battle they fight in the Emperor's name.
