'''Seraphim''' are [[Sisters of Battle]] who are specialized in hit-and-run close-quarter attacks using [[jump pack]]s and pistols. {{Fn|1}} ==Overview==Seraphim Squads are deployed as a fast attack squad with the Sisters of Battle. The squad can be accompanied by a [[Sister Superior]]. They usually carry a pair of [[Bolt Pistol]]s, occasionally replaced by [[Hand Flamer]]s or [[Inferno Pistol]]s. The Seraphim are taught the ancient ways of the [[Daughters of the Emperor]] passed down since the order's creation on [[San Leor]], and are experts in unarmed fighting, armed hand-to-hand combat, jump pack operation and the co-ordination and ambidextrousness needed to fire two pistols at once.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
Seraphim are the most elite warriors of the Sisters of Battle alongside [[Celestians]], and select only the most talented and experienced Sororitas to join their ranks. Seraphim have a high turnover rate, often having to return to other combat squads as veteran leaders to train new troops.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
