[[Celestian]] Miriya is the main character of [[Faith_and_Fire_(Novel)|Faith and Fire]], a novel by James Swallow, and [[Red and Black (Audio Book)|Red and Black]], an audio drama also by James Swallow. She is a member of the [[Order_of_Our_Martyred_Lady|Order of Our Martyred Lady]].<sup>1</sup>
As a Celestian Elohim she was tasked with passing judgment on the world of [[Hollos]] after it was suddenly discovered to be accessible again after two thousand years when a ship was found from there. The system drew suspicion due to it being lost to a [[Warp Storm]] for two thousand years, and due to the single crewman on the ship being a [[Replicae]]. Miriya's investigations with her squad revealed that the planet was originally a research colony studying Replicae technology, and that Replicae were used as soldiers to defend the world from [[Chaos]] incursions during the time it was cut off. During this time, most of the more recent Replicae had the chemical process in their bodies which made them subservient and gave them red skin go dormant, giving them free will to rebuild Hollos as a pacifist society, shunning the wars for which they were made. Miriya also uncovered a plot to overthrow the Replicae by the humans.
