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 Repressor's non-lethal weaponry of for water cannons and grenade launchers . The sisters armed with heavy flamers, and took to the streets to purge the heretics with holy fire.{{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}}
