Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm

Why do the sisters of battle fight the space marines and imperierial guard?
I mean I guess the IG can be explained to some extent, but why are they also fighting the SM? the space marines were created by the emperor himself I figure the sisters would be more respectful.

Space Marines aren't protected from the Corruption that is made from the Warp and the Blood Ravens were just starting to make black stains in their Chapter's honor Kronus was the beginning when they willingly slaughtered the Imperial Guard troops there

Well yes, but the sisters aren't immune to corruption aswell.

I suppose, I just figured they held the children or in the case of the space marines the grand children of the emperor in higher regard.

well you shouldn't expect members of the Inqusition or in the Sisters case the Militant of one of the branches of the Inquisition to not punish anyone suspected of heresy

Well, it's a question of scale. If Space Marines were infallible, the Horus Heresy wouldn't have happened, would it? Besides, only one Sister has ever fallen, or so I hear. (A handful at the most, which is why there's never been a Chaos Sisters army.) Moreover, the AAR for the Space Marine Stronghold as the Sisters states Canoness Agna had her doubts but was persuaded to go through with it, and they were still sad about it.
The Sisterhood is a highly zealous orginization to start wtih, add the scope of the crisis certainly didn't help, with chaos and xenos at every turn. Add in that the Astartes and Guard were telling THEM to stand down and lay down arms to them certainly didn't help, especially as one of Kaurava's worlds was a major shrine world for them... Yeah, cooler heads did not win out here.

On the bright side, if you follow the canonical ending of the conflict, Stubbs did ensure the surviving Sisters were detained and then return to service after some minor punishments upon the completion of the Kaurava campain, so more respect than GW's loremakers gave them for the last ten years.

Because Relic wanted to have Sisters of Battle in the game, but needed a reason for the imperial factions to not be in an alliance.

I sense heresy.... BLAM!!, Ever since Emps got put on the golden throne everything went downhill, inquistion was made along with the grey knights, the logical reasoning behind the forces of the imperium fighting is that everyone thinks everyone is a heretic when there is suspected heresy but heresy is everywhere and ♥♥♥♥ goes wild until grey knights come in and clense chaos and all heresy, and if they cant do that well ♥♥♥♥ here comes the inquistion and they be like these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ heretics on this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ planet gonna get some exterminatus, wh40k at its finest

These space marines are the blood revans.
During the kronus campaign they fought imperial gaurd force's.
This made the suspect.
When the space marine's refuse to obey the echesiarcy.
It was all the prove needed for the sisters of battle that they where heretic's.

The blood revan motto is:
Knowledge is power.
Gaurd it well.

They have alot of secrets.
Add to it there know for stealing artifactions from everyone.
And nobody knows there primarch(not even them).

To the sisters of battle ANYONE who doesnt submit to them is a proven heretic.
And even inqisitors find it dificult to requision space marines.

The imperial gaurd lost 1/3 of there army to chaos before stubbs arived.
To the sisters of battle there are heretic's for refusing to submit for question(see: die via torcure)
And to the space marines these gaurds refusing to submit to both them and the sisters of battle make the gaurd disloyal at best, heretical at worst.

Long version short:
All three believe there in charge.
And all three refuse to back down.
Basicly: pride is a Babe In Total Control of Hereself.

Personaly:
I hope that one of the none imperials have won.
That way the imperial suffer's a loss(the need to lose from time to time or they become boring overpower: see ultra-marines)
And then we can pretend they where working togahter.
I think the eldar have the best ending.
