Editing MedHammer 40,000 Sisters (section)

==Daughters of Tarasha==
The Daughers of Tarasha or Sisters of The Aurelian is a rare, and exclusive inner circle of Ancilla. For those who find themselves called to such a path and survive the mentally emotionally and physically exhausting trials have earned the right to call the Astartes "Brother." The number of these exceptional individuals is small, as througout its 10,000 years of existence across the galaxy, the total number of these select individuals numbers less than 50,000.

====Initiation====
The process to becomming a Daughter of Tarasha is simple, to successfully integrate at least one Geneseed organ of Roboute Gulliman into one's body. There are no genetic modifications that facilitate this, the Ultramarines apothecary that administers this trial submits the woman to the exact same process as he would a neophyte astartes. Sister must undergo the same procedure which means that apart from the Divine intervention of the Aurelian and Tarasha themselves, there is a 100% rejection rate. Thus to even survive as anything other than a quibbling mass of flesh requires nothing short of the Will of the Aurelian. 

The initiation process for the Daughters of Tarasha can be both personally volunteered, or "volunteered" by an official of the order or the Aurelian Ecclesiarchy. Because of the latter part, the initiation process has become something of a "Trial by fire" to remove troublesome or politically inconvenient Ancillae. This unofficial execution is justified by delivering the Ancillae to Gulliman himself. Additionally, this method of eliminating troublesome members has on occasion backfired, as an Ancillae who ascends to Daughter of Tarasha is now more powerful and influential in the cult, and is viewed as an extention of the Spectra Pietas, the sacred will of the Aurelian.

====Neglectes====
Still Rare, but much more numerous than actual Daughters, some Ancillae survive the bonding process with Roboute's geneseed, but only just. These women have severe physical deformities transforming them into massive monstrous brutes. 

Common deformities include:
*Massive Pitch Black Eyes
*Muscle overgrowth that crushes the bones.
*Jaws and mouth Dissolved from acid.
*disproportionate and irregular limbs
*bloated tumor-like growths in the head.
*the Rib cage sealing irregularly, causing severe respiratory problems
*Additional Heart and Lungs growing outside of the body.
*Mucus membrane perpetually excreting casing around body.
*Partial or irregular Hermaphroditism
*Accelerated bone growth leading Proteus syndrome or Osteochondroma

Such Neglectes are not allowed to be killed as they are seen to have been chosen to live by The Aurelian. Individuals who survive in this state are often believed to be made so in penance for past sins. What happens to these neglectes varries with their capability. Those who are able to often choose to fight and die in suicide battles in hopes of reclaiming their honor, others are forced to live their mercifully short lives in the care of the Ordo Hospitaller

====Relation with other groups====

Throughout the galaxy it seems impossible to have tepid or lukewarm opinions of the Daughters of Tarasha. 

;In the Aurelian Cult
:Given the Miraculous nature of their Transformation, the Daughters are considered to be a similar to the Living Saints, a natural extension of the Will of the Aurelian. 

;Among the Thirteenth Sons.
:The Daughters of Tarasha are beloved by Sons of Gulliman. The title of "Sister" is one of sincere affection and respect. It is not uncommon for Astartes chapters who serve Gulliman to "adopt" a sister among their ranks. Given the existence of the Daughters as proof of Gulliman's greater designs, It is also not uncommon for New Chapters to be founded with the Sister as their patron saint and Founder.

;Jaghatai Khan and the White Scars.
:Jaghatai and the White scars tolerate the Daughters out of respect for the friendship of the Roboute Gulliman and Jaghatai Khan. However, given their intense zeal for the Aurelian cult bordering on fanaticism, the White Scars are often wary of the Daughters, especially when their beloved Antiquitae beliefs are threatened.

;Vulkan and The Promethean Cult
:Similar to Jaghatai Khan, Vulkan often welcomes and celebrates the Daughters and Gulliman's other sons out of respect for past friendship. Also like Jaghatai Khan, this relationship is often made more tense due to religious differences. Vulkan's "Daughters of Nocturne" have a bitter rivalry with the "Daughters of Tarasha and Ancillae." As the daughters of the XIII see the Nocturne Dragons as vain and insular. While the Daughters of Nocturne see the Sisters as brainless clumsy fanatics, combining the worst of the Ancillae with the Worst of The Ultramarines.

;The Lion and Dark Angels
:The Lion, who had no love for Gulliman, has even less for his daughters. It is a poorly kept secret that Sisters are prone to "Accidents" while in the Segmentum Obscura. Those Daughters with a background in the more intelligence gathering wings of the Aurelian Cult often are playing a game of knives with the Dark Angels.

;Dorn and the Imperial Fists.
:The Imperial Fists chapters opinion on the daughters often varry by chapter. Most of the time they are found butting heads with them because most fist successors devotion to The Imperial Truth. The Daughters represent yet another blasphemous way in which the Aurelian Cult taints and profanes the Emperor's geneseed. Curiously Rogal Dorn himself seems to be relatively amicable with the Daughters, often using them as a conduit to communicate with his old friend.

;Fulgrim
:Fulgrim absolutely hates The Daughters. Fulgrim himself already hated Roboute Gulliman, but their existence seems to view the Daughters as a personal insult. Fulgrim's III legion is all but annihilated with little to no success in replenishing the legion, and Gulliman is now granting his Geneseed to daughters now.

;Magnus
:Magnus finds the mystical nature of the Daughters fascinating, and potentially sees them as hope for his own legion's rebuilding. Like many of his brothers, he finds the religious zeal of the Daughters irritating.

;Horus Lupercal and The Luna Wolves
:Horus and his Luna Wolves are perhaps the only group that treat the Daughters with disinterest. Given Horus' duties as focusing on the upkeep and fighting strength of the legion, his appreciation for the Daughters only goes as far as their ability to help them in his quest. Horus has, on occasion tapped both the Daughters and the Ancillae for the investigation of corruption in his legion and other legions. The Daughters have also been useful in motivating the Aurelian faithful into doing something he wants.

;Sanguinious and the Blood Angels
:Sanguinious despises the Daughters. To him, the Daughters of Tarasha and [[MidHammer_40,000:_Religion#The_Cult_of_The_Walking_Eagle|The Cult of the Walking Eagle]] represent everything wrong with Ultramar. Much like Fulgrim, the Daughters of Tarasha is a slap in the face to Sanguinious who has yet to cure his own legion of their horrendous mutation. Additionally, his strong adherance to the Imperial Truth leads him to despise the religious zealotry with which they worship their Genefather Gulliman. The Blood Angels, in their quest to be the absolute best of what the Imperium is, echoes their Father's sentiment. Despite their similar interests in Law, philosophy and the sciences, They too hate the Daughters, and the rest of the Ancillae. In their eyes their religious rooted devotion to the arts and sciences is worse than ignorance, it is regressive teaching. 

;Leman Russ
:Russ, in the few occasions he has encountered the daughters, has asked them to accompany him in his quest to kill the wolves. Leman Russ has still not fully eliminated some of his old Fenrisian superstitions, and The Daughters, Grail Knights, and Living Saints remind him of figures from ancient fenrisian legends. Additionally he views the daughters, given their blessing by The Aurelian, as a sort of Good luck charm when fighting in the Warp.

;Inquisition
:Given their personal blessing by a Deified Micromanager, the Daughters of Tarasha are the one institution the Inquisition has been unable to infiltrate. This fills the inquisition with both hatred and dread for the Daughters. The Daughters are the reason that the Inquisition has switched to assassinating ancillae, as their attempt to eliminate sisters through the process of volunteering resulted in the creation of Daughter Olga Krepostinya, who during her 5-700 years of work outed and eliminated several inquisitors in the Aurelian Cult and Ultramar. The Daughters represent a walking liability to the Inquisition, as they are effectively champions of a chaos god who are able to walk freely among the Imperium.

;Rogue Traders
:Similar to their view on Astartes, the Rogue traders keep a friendly but distant relationship with the Daughters. Staying on their good side ensures trade with Aurelian-faithful areas goes smoothly. Plus most of these navigators and void captains know better than to anger the servants of the Warp God who makes warp travel safer.

;Grand Macharia
:The Aurelian cult, along with several religions, has a strong presence in Macharia. There are some concerns by Macharia that the Ancillae will turn Macharia into "Ultramar Secundus." Because most of Macharia prefers the Cultis antiquae faiths, relations with the Aurelian cult varries from persecution to endorsement.
