Now on the sisters themselves and other members of the ordos. (Now some of this I have already stated mind you, but I will most likely expand on it and not write in circles as I happen to do some times)

Sisters come from all walks of life from orphaned children of Imperial Servants, children taken from all manners of families by members of the state, and the natives of Sanctuary worlds literally born for this sole purpose. They are gathered at a very young age (2-3 normally although children as old as 10 can be taken) they are put under the stewardship of a Lac Materna (Milk Mother) who raises the young girls still the age of 5 these are known as the 'Milk Years' and for the most part the child is merely raised within the confines of a Sanctuary world not receiving any real training or much at all.

After the 'Milk Years' come the first real years of training. This phase is from the ages of 5-10 during these years they are put into a 'class' of sorts under the stewardship of a 'Matera' or a 'Mother', most Mothers are veterans of the order who a injury has taken them out of front line service, the Sisters are known during these years and the 'Milk Years' as puella. During these years the Puella receive basic training, lessons, and the first taste of discipline.

After they reach the age of 10 the Puella are gathered by their mothers within one of the many 'Halls of Saints' and are inducted in mass into the many Ordos that exist within the organization. For most these will be permanent assignments, but others transfer from ordo to ordo. It is after these years they reach a intermediary stage in which they are considered 'Sisters in Training', they stay this way until the age of 18 when they have finished all the training the Ordo can give and are given their first assignment into battle if they survive their first assignment they are considered Full Sisters.

Sisters are not the only ones in the ordos by far. Each ordo is assisted by by equal or even more numbers of Nuns and Servants who serve as Milk Mothers, assistants, clerks, and many other roles. Unlike in the Legions or Adeptas these Servants are treated almost as equals they may not hold the same class they are seen as a vital and respected part of the Order.

The Orders also make use of Servitors and officials from other Adepts (All female) they are normally bureaucratic in nature or envoys.

Now let's expand on the Sanctuary worlds. Sanctuary worlds are worlds owned solely by the Sisters. They are worlds where the population is for all intents and purposes female with a few villages of feral men existing (Got to get new sisters some how). At times the sisters find men from these villages with a strong 'seed' to create the next generation of sisters most of the time they have trials by combat to determine who's 'seed' is the best (Think what the Night Sisters did in Star Wars). Most of these feral men live at a rather medieval standard with few ever leaving the Sanctuary Worlds.
