>>57927797Despite a high degree of coordination and strategic competence, once battle is joined, the sisters of the Blinded Martyr become extremely fixated on achieving victory, and have little regard for casualties. As
>>57927842 suggested, they have particularly high attrition rates among Dominion squads. And if they encounter an enemy who can actually deal with their tactics.... let's just say they're endangered for a reason.
>HomeworldHomeworld is Lycia, a not-Greek world. The local populace are well-educated folk who place a high priority on philosophy, art, and government. They are also horrible at fighting and their planet has an issue with corruption, hence why the order was established. The sisters don't really interact with the local government, as the planet runs itself just fine and they see the locals as softies.
Culturally, the sisters are similar to Spartans (hence the no retreat, no surrender mentality). When they aren't actively fighting, they're training or engaging in contests to test their physical and mental fitness against one another. Peculiarly, the sisters also regularly engage in a form of ritual scarification meant to help focus their faith.
It is whispered that whatever corruption has taken hold on the planet has also affected the sisters in some way. Although no heretics have ever been officially found amongst their number, they seem to be even more wary than usual of sin within their ranks, and have an unusually high rate of lethal training accidents (which also doesn't help their endangered status)
