Sisterhood Initiate

Sisterhood Initiates are exclusively asari members of the Eclipse mercenary organization, they are only encountered on Illium. They are very similar to Eclipse Troopers with the exception that they can use barriers on higher difficulties instead of shields. They are armed with M-8 Avenger assault rifles allowing them to put down a constant hail of fire. Initiate sisters are not a significant threat and should be easy to handle on most difficulties,on harder difficulty levels it is important to use powers and weaponary that will take down their barriers, therefore powers such as concussive shot, warp and warp ammo are very useful against them.

Trivia

 * Initiates are only encountered on Illium and are exclusively asari, this may indicate that Eclipse mercenary's recruited on asari owned/dominated worlds enter an Eclipse sisterhood instead of the mainstream organization. It could also be an arrangement exclusive to recruits from Illium.
 * Asari Eclipse vanguards may originally begin their mercenary careers as initiates
