However it is said that they first appeared during the early Great Crusade when the Primaris Psykers of the Astra Telepathica proved unable to properly control captured Psykers. The Sisters of Silence's origins are shrouded in mystery. They also are known to be deployed against large covens of Rogue Psykers or Chaos Space Marine Sorcerers.
This allows them to operate on worlds usually immune to the Imperial Tithe, such as those belonging to the Ecclesiarchy or Adeptus Mechanicus. While nominally part of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, in truth the Sisters of Silence answer directly to the Emperor. As warrior-investigators they were involved in all aspects of the capture and transportation of psychic individuals and still are found among the crew of the Black Ships. The main purpose of the Sisters of Silence is therefore to seek out and apprehend psykers. Their very presence disrupts psychic activity and they are presumed to have been immune to most forms of psychic assault. Recruited from Untouchable stock, the Sisters are anathema to psykers. They are an all female order, in much the same way as the Adepta Sororitas the major difference is that the Sisters are all Blanks. The Sisters of Silence have a long history, originally operating from the Somnus Citadel on Luna.
