# The 508

*\[Heavy Encryption\]*

-A permanent encampment of [the Chosen 508](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/the-chosen-508th "The Chosen 508th") descendants of the 508th Light Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, deep with the Lava Tube networks below Asterion

-Has developed into a self-sustaining colony that continues to hold a line against [Xenos organisms](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/page/associated-organisms "Associated Organisms") that appear linked to the [Cinquefoil](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption "The Cinquefoils/Nemesis Xenos") presence on the planet

-Locations within the settlement include the Command Lodge, the Enge (which contains a Reactor), the Omry (Resource Storage and Repair), a Mess, and a Chapel. Appears to have three entrances; Westgate, Eastbraid, and the North Junction.

-Presence of Xenos organisms indicates that a source may be found near the 508's position; merits further investigation.

-A rogue Castellan Robot, previously a component of [Vector van Flange's](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/magos-aedifex-vector-van-flange "Magos Aedifex Vector van Flange") retinue, is likely still roaming the tunnels near the 508; instructions on how to safely neutralize and transport the device have been relayed to the Guard.
