Firebrand Cadre

Firebrand Cadres are groups of warriors of the Sisters of Silence.^[1]

Called upon when a purge was needed, Firebrands were equipped and deployed for widespread destruction. Their targets included rebellions, condemned criminals, tainted Abhumans and Mutants, and other gene-threats as well as the pacification of riots and aggressive bystanders, counter-insurgency, and the denial of escape routes to the enemy. To that end, they were primarily armed with Flamers as well as Grenade Launchers.^[1]

Even within smaller detachments, Firebrands are deployed to prevent the interruption of the retrieval of the Great Tithe. However, in such instances, they are often presented as a force intended to intimidate the related governors and population into compliance rather than having to carry out their functions.^[1]
