corrected a misinterpretation about the change of weaponry between arbites and sororitas
==Overview==
The Repressor was originally used as an armoured personnel carrier by the Adeptus Arbites as a means of crowd suppression. The Sisters of Battle first used the Repressor on the [[Cardinal World]] of [[Avignor]] during the [[Avignor Uprising]], when agent-provocateurs of a heretical sect caused a crowd of a million pilgrims to riot. The local Precincts was overrun by the mob, and the Battle Sisters of the [[Order of the Sacred Rose|Sacred Rose]] Preceptory, currently guarding the [[Cardinal]]'s Palace, offered their aid. They replaced the RepressorRepressors's original non-lethal weaponry for of water cannons and grenade launchers. The sisters armed with for the heavy flamers favoured by their order, then took to the streets to purge the heretics with holy firefrom Avignor.{{Fn|1}}
For years only the Sacred Rose used the Repressors, causing anger with other Orders, until the 291st Synod Prioris of [[Terra]] where the issue was hotly debated. Eventually it was decreed that the victory on Avignor had been the [[Emperor]]'s divine will, and that the Repressor should be included in the canon list of sanctioned vehicles.{{Fn|1}}
