The Church has an all-female order tasked with defense, called Maidens of War. Unlike Zealots, they're rarely used in offensive actions. Their origins are also different - unlike street urchins and assorted riffraff, the Maidens are recruited from the children of the Church's low level workers and Church-run orphanages. Maidens' training is centered on martial arts, but they seem to be pretty well educated in general. What we have caught is a low-level Maiden, and she seems to be more susceptible to our subtle coercion than many of the other, fanatical members of the Church.
The armor Maidens wear is a customized version of a standard human Combat Armor, slightly more resistant to energy, but less to chem and piercing than normal, which seems to be a staple of all Church armors.
