As the group opened up the elevator, the storm troopers sealed up their carapace armor, and the elite squad came wearing void suits, handing one to Sarah and helping her into it.  A few minutes later, the elevator door opened up to a shaft with no gravity, and the group traveled upwards, floating up into the elevator stuck at the top of the shaft through its open hatch.  After passing through another couple of rooms, the group arrived in the depressurized section of the station, and made their way to the command deck.  The stormtroopers moved quickly and efficiently, casting their guns about before inputting the defense codes.  A servitor sitting in a command throne at the center of the station, who had survived nearly a day in vacuum, began to speak.  "Access codes recognized.  Activating point defenses."  The station servitor reported, as the ports outside flashed with heavy bolter fire from every direction, while the remains of heretics flew about.  "Restoring artificial gravity."  The servitor said, as everything in the room regained its proper weight.  "Life support problems detected.  Initiating repairs.  Datafiles on Ares system require updates.  Sending updates to scriptorium.  Warning, all system defenses locked.  Please insert defensive codes."  The servitor rambled, while the sound of scribe tines scribbling against parchment came from one of the copper vox tubes at the edge of the room.<br/><br/>A series of reports sat at one end of the room, detailing the Ares system at the time of the attack.<br/><br/>Population: 544,000<br/>Habitation Sectors: 600<br/>Agricultural Sectors: 275<br/>Defense Sectors: 95<br/>Trade Sectors: 125<br/>Entertainment Sectors: 22<br/>Administrative Sectors: 17<br/><br/>Military Units:<br/><br/><strong>Ares PDF</strong><br/><em>9 Divisions;
