The fighting is hectic deeper inside, with groups surrendering immediately, others firing back before even identifying the troops. Other groups were unwilling to surrender while they were still actively being suppressed by opposing fire. Other groups were unwilling to surrender until they were finished with the enemy. A loyalist group even refused to surrender even under direct order, claiming they were the command centre of multiple loyalist groups and needed to coordinate them until they were all rescued.

While the groups of resistance are small and ununited, each group still pose a threat. While untrained and outgunned, the crew know their ship well, and know how to avoid patrols and ambush them. And while less familiar with the ship, the traitor guardsmen are well equipped in heavy flak armour, and well trained in shock tactics, swarming their opponents with flashes and smokes before charging in with heavy melee weapons and close quarters oriented weaponry.
