It was some device undergoing rigorous beta testing. S-Corp scientists claimed it would revolutionize exploration.

The Vanguard Division was there to guard the research lab, but most of all, the Seraphine family, who had been receiving death threats. Over the course of Tybar’s deployment, he became friends with Ashara Seraphine, the granddaughter of his employers.

And the enemy’s armor allowed them to pass through solid barriers. Tybar lost a lot of good friends that day, and his employers were upstanding people, they didn't deserve this.
Tybar didn’t see the attack, but they must have gotten past his team. They killed Ashara's grandparents and all of the research staff. He managed to survive the harrowing encounter, only to stumble upon Ashara, grievously injured and teetering on the edge of death.
