Repair work began across Sanctuary Ardent before the last Compact ship had fully left the system.
Damaged cutters were pulled into the surviving launch halls, wounded defenders were moved toward the medical levels, and the captured boarding troops were divided into separate holding areas before they could reorganize.
Solenne kept her fleet around the sanctuary while Eirenne rebuilt the sensor picture and searched for any ships Ruun might have left behind.
Aurelian remained in the command center until the immediate reports stopped changing every few seconds.
The final numbers were not good, but they could have been worse. The western launch area had taken serious damage, the main batteries were gone, and several smaller weapons had burned through important parts that could not be replaced quickly.
Even so, the preservation halls remained stable, the Continuity Vault was untouched, and none of the medical patients had been lost during the attack.
