A week after the battle of Ares, the system was starting to get back to normal.  The spacewall on Attica station was back in place, at least on the surface, and<em>Concordia</em>was docked inside the station undergoing repairs, along with four escort vessels, including the<em>Mein Gauche</em>,<em>Wakizashi</em>,<em>Kukri</em>, and the<em>Coral</em>.  A line of 6 escorts waited in orbit outside the station, occasionally receiving bits of attention from void suited workers, while the<em>Everest</em>stood over everything like a looming mountain.  The wreck itself was quite frightening, though the heaps of twisted metal were already being carted away.  The remains of the chaos fleet had free traders swarming over them like flies on a corpse, salvaging their systems and pulling them apart for scrap metal to finance the repairs on the Imperial fleet.  Within 2 months, the fleet would be fully operational again.<br/><br/>The Commodore had temporarily transferred her flag to the<em>Tentitha</em>of coral squadron, choosing not to assume command of the<em>Exelion</em>as expected.  She worked feverishly to prepare a new defense report, while strangely little word came from her Commissar.  After a week, casualties had been counted, and the defenses of the Ares system were finally clear:<br/><br/>Population: 188,650<br/><br/>Naval Assets:<br/><br/>1 Lunar Class Cruiser (<em>Exelion</em>)<br/>2 Cobra Class Destroyers (<em>Tentitha</em>,<em>Nematoad</em>)  (2 scheduled for repairs)<br/>1 Sword Class Frigate (<em>Katana</em>)  (7 scheduled for repairs)<br/>1 Claymore Class Corvette (<em>Crimson</em>)  (1 scheduled for repairs)<br/>68 Fury Interceptors<br/>22 Starhawk Bombers<br/>5 Torpedo Bombers<br/>44 Plasma Torpedoes<br/><br/><br/>Orbital Assets:<br/><br/>1 Orbital Dock (Attica Station)<br/>2 Orbital Torpedo Platforms (Marathon, Phaeleron)<br/>45 Fury Interceptors<br/>100 Starhawk Bombers<br/>155 Plasma Torpedoes<br/>30 Short Burn Torpedoes<br/>10 Melta Torpedoes<br/>5 Guided Torpedoes<br/><br/><br/>Ground Assets:<br/><br/>New Sparta:<br/>Orbital Defense HQ<br/>2 Air Bases<br/>15 Cadian Pattern Orbital Defense Lasers<br/>3 Divisions PDF 22,000 men<br/>21 Companies Pykon 11th Armored Regiment  6,300 men<br/>140 Thunderbolt Multirole Aeronautica<br/>100 Lightning Interceptor Aeronautica<br/>100 Leman Russ Tanks<br/>100 Chimera APCs<br/>25 Hydra Flak Tanks<br/>6 Macharius Superheavy Tanks<br/>3 Shadowsword Superheavy Tanks<br/>1 Crassus Assault Transport (HQ vehicle)<br/><br/>Equatorial Zone:<br/>1 Air Base<br/>10 Cadian Pattern Orbital Defense Lasers<br/>1 Divison PDF 2,000 men<br/>4 Companies Pykon 11th Armored Regiment  700 men<br/>22 Companies Roosevelt IV 3rd Infantry Regiment  6,250 men<br/>133 Battle Moose<br/>125 Thunderbolt Multirole Aeronautica<br/>56 Lightning Interceptor Aeronautica<br/>30 Hellhound Tanks<br/>26 Chimera APCs<br/>20 Basilisk Cannons<br/>15 Salamander Scout Tanks<br/>5 Hydra Flak Tanks<br/><br/>Southern Manufacturing Zone:<br/><br/>1 Air Base<br/>5 Cadian Pattern Orbital Defense Lasers<br/>19 Companies Pykon 5th Infantry Regiment 5,400 men<br/>75 Thunderbolt Multirole Aeronautica<br/>25 Lightning Interceptor Aeronautica<br/>108 Sentinel Walkers<br/>20 Manticore Missile Launchers
