Slightly different question, what exactly is a commisars job?
because in the Imperial armour books it mentioned the commisars having to stop the troppers from being over-entusiastic more than encouraging them and korpsmen have been known to execute the commisars before.

Commissars are responsible for maintaining the morale of the regiment they are attached to and eliminating of any anti-imperial factions within it's ranks, summary executions are just one of the punishments that can give out.

Yes , there was an actual female commisar model once upon a time.

Yes, there are female Commissars. However, the Schola Progenium, being an Ecclesiarchy-run school, tends to nudge its girls towards joining the Adepta Sororitas instead. So they're rare.

anyone who says they don't exist probably rolled a 1 on their will save to believe the obvious... besides the secondary sources mentioned above like black library books (some people don't take that as canon), GW made a female commissar mini.

In general, Commissars don't come from the same world as their regiment to prevent them from being too soft on the men. Cain is from some nameless hive world but he serves with Valhallans (first the 12th field artillery and then the 597th infantry)
Gaunt is from an unnamed civilized world but served with the Hyrkans and, of course, the Tanith.
