The port is located in the north of Angora, on the edge of the insidious zone, and the St Christopher is at a loading bay at the edge of the port. A hangar adjacent to the loading bay contains equipment and supplies due to be put on board, minor repair facilities, and emergency fire fighting units.

At night there are four security men at the hangar armed with assault rifles, and wearing cloth armour. The Navigational Assistance Unit is unlikely to have more than five or six men on duty at night, with sidearms only. The security platoon at the chemical warfare plant has thirty men and three ATV's equipped with night detection gear. Their equipment is cloth and reflect armour, with a mixed armament of laser rifles, ACRs and SMGs. If the alarm is raised, squads of Imperial marines should be expected to arrive from port road A. The transit camp is occupied by citizens due to leave the planet the next day, there are currently about 200 people in this camp. The warehouses north of the transit camp are used to store equipment due to be loaded aboard the starships within the next few days. Warehouse Alpha is the property of Johann Auchzt and all equipment can safely be kept here for up to 18 hours. The transit road has 4 men on duty in each of two bunkers, one at either side of the road. The electronically guarded gate can be opened from the south bunker.

Boarding: Access to the St Christopher can be gained by the air lock via the external ladder, this is not locked but is guarded. There is a loading elevator beneath the laboratory; this is locked and would need to be forced. The inspection hatch at the lower engineering deck is open and an external ladder attached. The inspection hatch at the lower engineering deck is open and an external ladder attached. Two or three of the twelve man crew can be seen working here through the night, others can be seen about the airlock at dusk (18 hours before the ship is due to leave). The remainder are asleep on board. The cargo and boat doors cannot be forced.

Lift off: The patron and the pilot are familiar with the layout of the ship's controls and have the necessary nav tape to travel to Hygar. The ship is fuelled and able to take off from dusk onwards. As the final checks are still underway there is a small chance that the ship will not be fully operational. Twenty minutes would be required from first control of the ship until takeoff time, unless damage is caused.
