The Voidborn group prepares to engage in the fighting...
Signals can be detected outgoing, possibly to the parent fleet of the Voidborn group

Jenwuf The Captain Happily Nods.
"Well, this makes the Commands easier. Dropship one, Drop your full load onto the Farragaut, and Dropship two, Drop half on each of the Equalities. For Earth's Glory!"
The Dropships fly in towards their targets. But, the dropships are facing heavy oppression, their Mobile Generators dropping like flies against the Sophisticated weaponry of the enemy. By the End of it, Dropship two goes down in a Blaze of glory, Only 13 Troopers surviving and landing on one Equality. The last projector that was escorting it Joins the First. Although facing heavy losses, 67 Of the Troopers land on the Farragaut before the Back of the Dropship is destroyed, Causing the Damaged ship to lose it's thrust and be shredded by the Farragaut's weaponry.

"I try to humble myself, and I will not eat food meant for others. Thank you for the request anyways. Although I have one question, why did you need to build such a massive monstrosity anyways?"
Although the man declines the food, he looks incredibly hungry...

Sombreroman

ImTired "The Species was made to Sustain pretty much anything. Just provide it with Water, and It gives you Oxygen and Probably the Most Nutritious food in the Galaxy. We named it after Domini Naturae, the "Masters of Nature". They may be our enemy, but we have respect."
Alarms begin to blare in the Station. The Audio Rapidly repeats this message:

ALERT. ALERT. ENEMY OFFENSE OUTSIDE STATION. ATTACKERS IDENTIFIED AS THE TAU COALITAION. ALL PILOTS TO THEIR FIGHTERS.

The Message Repeats twice after that. While it's repeating, the Pilot Yells loud enough so you can hear him:
"ALRIGHT, I'D LOVE TO CONTINUE THIS TOUR, BUT IT'D SEEM WE'RE UNDER ATTACK. WE CAN CONTINUE LATER, BUT RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO GET YOU BACK TO YOUR SHIP..."
As You backtrack, You instead Sprint across the conveyer belt.
"Alright... SAMSON COMMAND #65! MAKE ROOM! PLEASE!"
The Idle Samsons stand on the edge of the Conveyer, letting you sprint through twice as fast as usual.
"They Aren't Interested In Us, I Reckon, But they're probably messing up the ISC..."

The local tourist beacon stops broadcasting morse, and transmits a message:

A GRAND NEW COALITAION

//Transmission Start//
ssso then ISSSC,
you have lossst again
we have taken control of your planetsss
with our sssuperior numbersss
even the ssstupidsss beat you
here, go meet with the ressst of your ISSSC
//Transmission End//
linked in the broadcast is a location, presumably where the remainder of the ISC are in exile.

but for now, this battle is to be won or lost.

After hearing a clunk on the outer hull, the captain of the Equality orders a smaller being to go and investigate.

hello?
is anyone there?

Meanwhile on the faragaut the captain is more equipped to deal with boarding parties
They press a large button on their command post.

Screeching roars are heard throughout the ship.
And more worryingly they are closing through the ventilation tubes.

EQUALITY:
A Trooper, Clad in Graphite Armour, Lands and Restrains the Being. He holds a knife to it's throat.
"Alarm them, and I'll make sure you stop talking."
More Troopers begin Running in.

FARAGAUT
The Troopers look above them, Seeing the Vents closing.
"They're trying to Suffocate us. Alright men, Get back on the Roof while you still can..."
The other troopers look around. One Speaks out.
"Keep your Tanks, Cap'n. I think they're sending some of themselves at us."
"Tragic. We've Taken down around 600 Men by ourselves earlier. Alright boys, Keep the Rope tight up there, but Get your Knives and Shotties just in case. this'll be like the old times."
"Alright Cap'n Spider."
They load Their Shotguns, And Form into a Protective Circle.

ImTired

Sombreroman As he reaches the elevator, he turns to see all of the people that will be left behind, and then he stop, turns around and says:
"I unfortunately cannot leave these people. I must ask, is there anything I can do to help with the defense of this station? If not, please, show me to one of the private rooms, and that is where I will stay until this little 'raid' is over with."

Sombreroman

ImTired "Right now the Sit-Rep is caution. You can stay in the Living Stations in the meantime, It's far away from the Surface. Here, have this V.I.P. Badge. It'll let you use Command #65. See you if I come back..."
The Pilot runs up to his Nanolaser Cutter, Gets in, and orders his crew to get ready for combat, Leaving you and Your Passenger onboard to survive assuming things get bad.

Equality:
The small creature squirms a bit, but overall is very weak, and cannot alert the rest of the crew.
(not that it would want to with a knife to its throat)

Faragaut:
The vents nearby open up, and a large insectoid creature crawls out of the vent, and is promptly torn to shreds by the ring of shotguns.

You get a good look at the now dead creature, it clearly is a killing machine, with a set of jaws the size of a person, but it's four legs are rather weak, and it seems you hit some kind of weak spot on its main head/body.

As this occurs, a sharp leg spike pierces the vent's roof, almost striking a marine clear in the head. Missing by a very small margin.

Equality:
"Stay Quiet. I won't hurt you if you don't do anything..."
The Trooper Ties him to himself.
"You suffer from Motion Sickness? I recommend closing your eyes for the rest of the party..."

Faragaut:
"HOLY ####!"
Two other Troopers look at each other.
"You think that thing could cut through layers of Stable Carbon?"
"Depends. If they have Obsidian or something, It could happen."
The Two Troopers Cut the leg off of the Creature, Then began Violently Shotgunning where the Leg Came from.
"I Hate Space Insects..."
"Gee, you're Xenophobic."
"What happens when your parents are into old Alien horror films, Buck."
The Squad then Splits up, And Begin running towards the Crew Rooms.
"This is my favourite part."
"Gee, You're Sociopathic."
"Sure am, Six. Sure am."

Jenwuf

Sombreroman
Equality:
The now tied up engineer tries to close its eyes, as suggested, but can't bring itself to not know what is happening.
The troopers could move towards the bridge, weapons or the grav ring. Luckily for them, everything is clearly labelled in English.

Faragaut:
The insectoid creature screeches a lot while being pumped full of lead, and bounces around to try and escape, but to no avail. Other creatures begin swarming the now split troops, some getting rather close before being cut down.

You happen to notice them seeming to screech out for each other, clearly, these creatures are slightly intelligent, rather than some hive mind.
But this does not stop the troopers almost entirely clearing them, and as the cost seems clear, a single spiked leg pierces the roof again, this time grabbing a troop by the shoulder before pulling him up to the roof.

Equality:
The Troopers bolt for the Control Room, Loading their Shotguns. Some of them look behind them, making sure nobody's trying to sneak up on them.
"I Prefer the Riot control Style, but Commando's also fine, I guess..."

Faragaut:
The Trooper being snatched Pulls out his knife while he's being yanked. He Intentionally allows himself to get bitten, but his armouring Causes the Creatures teeth to cut into itself. While it Screeches in Pain, The Trooper Stands in it's mouth, Breaks it's jaw, then walks into It's neck and Cuts it's head off inside out. He then talks to It's corpse.
"You know little fella, We're the one thing about Surgeon Research you should truly be scared about."
He then Notices another Insect approaching him, But one behind him Grabs him.
"Oh Sh-"

(In the Meantime, the Other troopers are Killing off the Idle Crew of the Ship.)

"Uhhhhhhh... this is Captain Bitters again, and uhhh... yeah I think that would work"

in the background
"Whats that Private Jimmy? It should work?" "Yeah I'm pretty sure it'll work..." " Jimmy you're the bioengineer here you're supposed to know that kind of stuff!" "y-yes sir..."

"So uhh, my bioengineer person says that a bunch of bright lights should work, but umm just to make sure, you weren't planning on moving that star were you? Because that's just about the only think I can think you would need engines on a Dyson Sphere for... And that would be pretty bad soo..

Sombreroman

Solarwatch "No, No. The Engines are for it to disconnect from the Star and Warp away. If that were the case, the star would stay in place and burn a hole through the station..."
The Commander Then Nods.
"Alright. We're Requesting the Lights to be built and sent to the system. But, We're having some... "Stormy Weather" Outside right now, Sir..."

Sombreroman
Equality:
The crew of the equality are almost all busy, so there is little resistance in the way.

Faragaut:
After being grabbed in its mandible, the creature begins repeatedly stabbing the trooper with two small weaker spikes, yet they are still powerful enough to pierce straight through the marines armour.

Meanwhile, after having noticed the weaponsfire, the remaining crew all barricade themselves in a large room, this of course, is easily got past. but the troops hear pleas from inside.

Not everyone wants to come quietly though, and the more aggressive beings on board have most likely already attempted to attack the troops bare handed, but to no success, and they now lie dead on the ground.

Solarwatch

Sombreroman Captain Bitters nods contentedly, and sends a transmission back to sector command.

"The... Anomaly has been located. Its presumed creators, or at least protectors, have divulged that it is a Dyson Sphere of sorts, but they also mentioned that it is a station. What that means is unclear. It appears that the people here entirely forgot about the species in this system, and are constructing large, powerful lights in an attempt to compensate for the... catastrophe that could happen. The situation remains peaceful, but it has been made abundantly clear that they don't really want us here, as evidence by the heavily armed and armored warship they sent as a welcoming party. Captain Bitters, out. If you don't hear from me in 5 rotations, send in everything we've got."

"I hope you don't mind a small little transmission to command."

Sombreroman

Jenwuf
Equality:
The Troopers Kill everybody in the Command Room, Then Turn the ship on a collision course toward the Faragaut. But, The ship slows to a snail's pace without explanation. The Trooper carrying the Engineer sets him down, still roped so he cannot move.
"Alright Tiny. Explain what's going on here..."

Faragaut:
The Trooper Cuts the arm off of the Creature behind him and Stabs the Weakspot on the Creature's Head. But he then realizes he's bleeding out uncontrollably. He Stabs the other Creature's Weakspot, Then Falls out of the Vent limp.
"Urgh..."
The Two Stationed guards notice him, and begin talking to him.
"You okay?"
"Leave... me... Be... We got... The Wrong... Armour..."
He then chokes and Rolls over, Creating a small pool of blood around his corpse.
"Oh Sh- We're wearing the Wrong Armour. What is it, Exactly?"
The other guard scrapes his armour with his knife and analysis it.
"Infantry armour. Aluminium Alloy."
"Sh-"

Meanwhile, the troops Rope up and Gather the Crew that surrendered, and leave them with the guards.
"Be thankful we take Prisoners."
"Six? Can I Shoot 'em?"
Six stares blankly at buck.
"No. Nonononono. NOOOO."
One of The Guards Taps Six on the Shoulder.
"Sir, Analyze our armour. Here's a little bit from mine."
Not noticing the Dead corpse on the Ground rotting away, Six Scans it and discovers the Little "Slip up" That could compromise the whole mission.
"Oh by golly..."
"You should inform Spider and Co. Before they do anything Stupid. Are Suits aren't right."
"On it pronto. Follow me, Buck. We're going back to our group."
"Are we going to kill more of them?"
"Ease yer trigger finger, Buck. There's going to be somebody we're going to need to shoot."
They make a Sprint to the Rendezvous point the troops assigned before landing.

Meanwhile, deep in Mikrelian space, a large attack fleet is prepared for battle...
