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.
