Description

A patrol-strength detachment of the Order of the Silver Shroud, a lesser Order Militant of the Adepta Sororitas, was dispatched to Sabbat. It was commanded by Palatine Yolathe Iudicata. Its stated task was the establishment of an Ecclesiarchal presence at the planetfall site.

On approach the detachment met armed opposition from forces operating under Inquisitorial authority. The Inquisitorial party held the landing zone. It contested the Sisters' right to set down and treated them as hostile once they committed to descent.
