Issue #6 opens with Hood remembering his actions during his military career, and watching the chaos on the ''Infinity'' after three successive attacks of the station's glassing cannon. Commander Bradley is killed during the attack and Hood himself is impaled, blaming himself for letting the ''Infinity'' fall into a trap. Palmer and Majestic proceed to board the station and stop Clayton while the glassing cannon overheats, forcing it to cool down for some time. NCA forces detect Spartans' Booster Frames and Clayton activates the station's point defenses. Clayton orders 'Gajat to stop the Spartans, but 'Gajat, in a burst of ambition, decides to destroy ''Infinity'' instead. The NCA forces attack Majestic and Palmer with missiles but the Spartans manage to avoid them. Hoya notices 'Gajat's ''SDV''-class corvette undocking from the station, but the Spartans decide to enter the station and use it to destroy the ship. Inside 'Gajat's flagship, 'Gajat receives an emergency call from the station but he decides to ignore it and proceed with his plan to destroy ''Infinity''. Meanwhile, the Spartans quickly capture the station and its crew. Madsen knocks Clayton unconscious as revenge for DeMarco's death on Ealen IV. 'Gajat contacts the station to tell Clayton he is about to destroy ''Infinity'', but he is answered by Palmer, who orders Thorne to fire the cannon, destroying 'Gajat's ship. | Issue #6 opens with Hood remembering his actions during his military career, and watching the chaos on the ''Infinity'' after three successive attacks of the station's glassing cannon.

In an unknown system, the ''Spirit of Fire'' drifts near a terrestrial planet. Inside, the ship is on full evacuation alert and a lone [[Flood]] [[Pod infector|infection form]] is seen scurrying across the ''Spirit'''s now vacant [[Cryonics|cryo storage]] room. | In an unknown system, the ''Spirit of Fire'' drifts near a terrestrial planet.
