Canonesses are the martial and spiritual commanders of the Orders Militant. Each is a shining example of purity and dedication of purpose, a veteran warrior of many hundreds of battles, and a slayer of the faithless in numerous war zones. But it takes more than just skill in combat to be granted such a position of command in the Adepta Sororitas. To be a Canoness requires a combination of strong leadership, shrewd tactical genius and sheer overarching faith in the Emperor.
