The Rose in Darkness

Adepta Sororitas

Stories of the Adepta Sororitas and individual Sisters across different eras: independent missions, character cycles and significant framing appearances. This is a faction-wide entry, not one war or compulsory reading queue. In Recongregator, Stern appears only in the later meeting with Dagover; this does not place the Sisters in the station battle.
