Changes

*The Battle Sisters of the [[Adepta Sororitas]] occasionally deploy via Dominica-pattern Drop Pods, a pattern of Drop Pod that can carry five unaugmented humans, when undertaking special high risk missions such as infiltrations behind enemy lines, chirurgical strikes against high value targets, or disabling the command structure of a renegade Space Marine chapter. Such operations are usually requested by the [[Ordo Hereticus]], with support of the [[Imperial Navy]]. Each [[Order Militant]] maintains a small number of Drop Pods exclusively for those operations, and their use is reserved to elite troops such as the [[Celestians]] and [[Dominions]]. This includes a variant of the Deathwind Drop Pod, which will then be armed with weapons favored by the Sororitas, either five twin [[Heavy Bolter]]s or [[Multi-Melta]]s.{{Fn|11}}

*Some [[Ecclesiarchy]] vessels such as the ''[[Hammer of Thor (ecclesiarchy cruiser)|Hammer of Thor]]'' are also equipped with gigantic Drop Pods able to hold several vehicles and the accompanying infantry, shot directly from [[Macro cannon]]s. These pods sport numerous searchlights on their exterior hull to illuminate the surroundings after landing.{{Fn|13}}
