Well, how Schola Progenium train and allocate their cadets is relatively new fluff, but we've always known that Imperial Elites such as priests of the Adeptus Terra and themembers of the Adepta Sororitas are first raised and trained in the Schola Progenium's facilities. The new
Codex: Militarum Tempestus explicitly states that during Selection Day (AKA. graduation day) those female cadets with strong faith would be "prepared to journey to training convents of the Adepta Sororitas ("Selection Day" . P12)
Further reading into the 6E
Codex: Adepta Sororitas, however, revealed that there are indeed more than two convents, albeit all of these convents are
subordinated to the first two, Convent Prioris and the Convent Sanctorum: "The Orders Militant spread, establishing
subsidiary convents on key worlds across the Imperium. ("The Orders Militant" .
digital)
Whilst it is now certainly untrue that new sisters must be trained either on Terra or Ophelia VII (since the term "convents" allows for subsidiary convents), it's worth noting that these minor convents are still under the jurisdiction of one of the "Major Orders Militants": "The Greater Orders Militant maintain subsidiary convents across the Imperium, the largest of which are referred to as Preceptories. ("The Orders Militant" )
That's what i though, but some seemed so certain that a trip to Earth or Ophelia was compulsory that i wanted to know where i could read about that (and change my view of things).

Finally when they join an order, they are taken it by one of their respected Orders' Sister Superiors: "When a Sororitas joins one of the Orders Militant, she will be adopted by a Sister Superior. ("Battle Sisters" )". Since one joins an Orders Militant, at least for the militant orders, a battle sister will therefore go to where her order wants her to be. Since they are spread out across the Imperium: "An Order’s warriors rarely fight together as a single unit, but instead are commonly spread throughout the galaxy, guarding various shrine worlds, prosecuting Wars of Faith and waging other battles. ("The Orders Militant" )" , said battle sister would have been flown else where.
I see, that's pretty much what i had in mind too. Granted SQRT(-2) version of thing might be a little more "closed loop" than the traditional system, but if Homeworld: The Forgeworld Hephaestus has a minor convent of the Order of the Machine Heart, with Sisters Superiors (possibly canoness etc too) at the facility, the fluff still works well.
You'd just have to explain why the don't travel as much... Country Bumpkin Sisters
lol. Great, now i've got new ideas....

I'm quite sure they're often Orphans from birth seeing how the Imperium deals with things, but that turn of phrase is just perfect
lol
