For many years after the battle at Avignor, only the Sisters of the Order of the Sacred Rose used the Repressor. Other Orders within the Ecclesiarchy whispered that it was not just or holy and that the Order should be restricted from using it any further. The issue over the sanctioned use of the Repressor came to a head during the 291st Synod Prioris of Terra, where it was decided that the use of the Repressor by the Sisters of Battle during the Avignor Uprising was the will of the Emperor, and that the Repressor should be included in the canon of sanctioned vehicles for all of the Orders Militant of the Sororitas.
