Prosecutor

A Prosecutor of the Silent Sisterhood who served as part of the Imperial Censure Host during the Battle of Prospero at the very start of the Horus Heresy.

A Prosecutor, usually part of a Prosecutor Cadre, was a mid-tier tactical role found amongst the Null Maidens of the Sisters of Silence. Prosecutor cadres were among those Silent Sisters most commonly seen by the general populace of the Imperium, forming the foot soldiers and guards of the paramilitary organisation of the League of Blackships, and as strike infantry well-suited to combat missions outside of their silent halls.

In field operations, Prosecutors specialised in open engagement of massed targets, favouring a modified variant of the Terran boltgun designed to fit in mortal hands more commonly seen in use by the transhuman warriors of the Legiones Astartes and the later Adeptus Astartes for its flexibility, stopping power and high rate of fire.
