Zanafar station, a redoubtable outpost of the God Emperor in the cold void of the Halo Stars. It is one of many such installations laced among the outskirts of the galaxy looking out from Segmentum Obscuris. They existed for millennia, the edict that mandated their construction dating back to the first contact with the Tyranid species Xenoform. They were a reactionary measure taken by an Imperium fearful of yet greater Xeno incursions from unprecedented vectors across the galactic plain. The stations still exist to this day, used now primarily as deep-space transit hubs or bastion outposts for beleaguered mining operations undertaken by the Mechanicus. Their operations may have changed since their inception, but this did not make them any-less of an imperial installation, mounted with all the guns a star-fort could muster, with system defense fleets patrolling the asteroid fields and gas-pockets that they were stationed in.
Zanafar station, is not one of these. Zanafar station, can barley be considered an operable station. Right along the trailing arm of the Halo Stars, perhaps the furthest out and farthest from the astronomicon. It is desolate and isolated, Rak'gol attacks are frequent and violent, and support is underwhelming. The station is a derelict, many guns are offline or do not function at all. It is a complete write-off in every sense, but still, Zanafar Station stands, and it is not without a means of defending itself. By old edict between the Ordo Hereticus' chamber Militant and the Ordos Xenos, A mutual defense pact had been placed along the outskirts of the Halo Stars, in this fashion, members of the Adeptus Sorroitas have seen themselves stationed upon the desolate void fortress. Of their number there are a great deal of novitiates and raw recruits, those still fresh from the Scholea Progenium and its grueling selection process. Battle Sister Amarine, was one of these recruits.
Amarine was in one of Zanafar's barracks, they were spartan and bare things made to house the brides of the emperor in great numbers. While this was appreciated, the fact that there were so few of them aboard the station usually meant that of the rooms meant to house at least fifty sisters, all of their wargear, and armor, that Amarien was often alone, with only usually three other sisters to keep her company during the few hours she had for reprieve. She was alone at the moment, such a thing was not unusual, her duty-roster placed just behind her two sisters when it came to patrols and drills. She had at least several hours before she was due to proceed to the central chapel within the station so that she may bow her head in Prayer with her fellow sisters.
For the moment, however, she was without any pressing matters to attend to. Her armor was old, far older than her and likely older htan her parents before her. Yet, all the same, it worked perfectly. By her cot, the furthest from the entrance, was a stand. She had finally removed it from herself, and now wore only the self-sealing pressurized under-suit. And unlike her armor, this took far less work in removing. She peeled it off of her lithe, toned body, she smelled of sweat and oil, as she knew she would. Hence, why she would be apt to take make use of the bathing facilities adjacent to the barracks. She was naked now, idly she covered her breasts with her arm and pulled open the heavy frame door to the locker room attached the barracks, the dull bulbs inside flickered to life hesitantly.
The cold tile floors felt like ice on the soles of her feet, she did not mind them all that much. She made quickly for the showers, walking around the tile wall partition between the lockers and communal showers. Much like the barracks, it was oversized for what it played host to. the air already smelled sour with disinfectant and sanitizer from previous uses, a low mist hung just above the ground from ambient heat and poor ventilation. Going to one of the further showers, Amarine was quick to sigh in relife as tepid-warm water spouted out from the dulled brass showerhead above her. She was completly alone, and in truth, that was just fine with her.
