Orders Sororitas of the Aliris Sector

The Abbey of the Silver Star
The Abbey of the Silver Star is the primary house of the Adepta Sororitas in the Aliris Sector. A daughter-house of the Convent Prioris on Holy Terra the Abbey and its planetary fief of Dominica is completely outside of local political jurisdiction or Ecclesiarchal control - which probably causes as many problems as it solves. The Abbey houses a preceptory of Sisters Militant of the Ebon Chalice and another of the Silver Shroud; a Collegium of Sisters Famulous of the Holy Seal; a Hospitallum of the Order of the Torch; and a Sanctum of the Sisters Dialogous of the Lexicon.

The Prioress of the Silver Star not only rules the planet Dominica but has authority over all Sororitas Orders under the Convent Prioris in the Sector. including a number of Orders Minor:



Order of Our Lady Dominica
Sisters Militant derived from the Order of the Ebon Chalice, also called Dominican Sisters. Their Mother-house is on the garrison planet Themiscyra. The Dominican Sisters are a major presence on Themiscyra and have had powerful impact on the culture of the planet where the military is considered an appropriate career for women but not men.

Order of the Daughters of the Moons
Sisters Militant derived from the Order of the Silver Shroud, also called 'Sisters of the Night'. Their Mother-house is on Menae, one of the Hundred Moons of the Umbericus system. This order is closely allied with the Night Walkers, often fighting side by side with them or providing support. Some Sisters are actual blood sisters of Night Walker Battle-Brothers as they recruit from the Umberican moons as does the Chapter.



Order of the Six Point Star
Sisters Famulous derived from the Order of the Holy Seal. They have their Mother-house on Avita in the Emilian Marches and convents on both Gallica and Iber. They constantly work for peace between the two powers, indirectly through education of noble girls, as advisors to their parents and occasionally directly by more positive if dubious means.

Order of the Lamp
Sisters Hospitaller derived from the Order of the Torch

Order of the Vade Mecum
Sisters Dialogous derived from the Order of the Lexicon. Their Mother-house is on Alexandretta.

In addition to those orders deriving from the Convent Prioris on Holy Terra there are several establishments belonging to Orders affiliated with the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII who do not come under the authority of the Prioress of the Silver Star which sometimes causes problems. These are:

Order of the Bloody Rose
Maintains a preceptory of Sisters on Inqanok.



Order of the Burning Rose
This Order of Sisters Militant was founded by Marcella Claudio-Julia and her cousin Drusilla Livio-Julia in the mid-9th century M41. Its rule and organization are based on those of the Order of the Blood Rose. It's Mother house is on Zode I and the Order's patron saint is Athaliah the Flame.

Order of the Holy Word
Sisters Dialogous of the Convent Sanctorum. They have a Sanctum on Inqanok.
