Order of the August Vigil
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Order of the August Vigil are a minor Adepta Sororitas Order of the Orders Pronatus.[1]
Members of the Order of the August Vigil were aboard the ship Tenax Propositi, along with several other Imperial dignitaries when it crashed into Korsk. The sisters were escorting the mortal remains of Saint Antiope back to her homeworld of Alecto, when the crash that the Vorbis Conspiracy centered around occurred. During the crash of the Tenax Propisiti, Sisters of the Order would sell their lives holding back the crew of the ship from reaching the Saviour Pod, so that Novitiate Fidelia could reliably reach Alecto's surface with the only fragment of the Saint's remains salvaged from the crashing ship.[1]
