Terrence Kyne disengaged the ship's engines, causing the ship to begin a slow descent towards the planet, in the vain hopes that it would burn up in the atmosphere and kill everything inside. To make matters worse, an unknown force jettisoned the ship's complement of escape shuttles, possibly caused after Captain Mathius's death, leaving the remaining crew trapped on board the Ishimura with no way out.
The Bridge was the last deck to be overrun the remaining bridge crew, security, and officers made a last stand with their weapons, but, like the Mining Deck, the Bridge survivors were undone by the vent system, which provided easy access for the Necromorph hordes. The Mining Deck, where wandering survivors rallied, lasted longer as a result of its endurance, but was eventually overrun by Necromorphs emerging from the ship's vent system.
The injured personnel were killed by the Necromorphs, and the creatures eventually breached the barricades and slaughtered any remaining medical staff. The bridge, as well as the Medical and Mining decks, reportedly held out the longest the Medical deck was completely overwhelmed with badly injured survivors, to the point where the medical staff barricaded the injured outside. Unfortunately, most of the decks were caught unprepared, simply presenting easy kills for the Necromorphs (due to the ventilation system) and leaving said decks utterly devoid of life. Decks that the creatures did not reach yet barricaded themselves off and made stopgaps to hold back the creatures when they attacked. It finally became obvious that the entire crew was in danger, as order around the ship vanished. Some men and women had jobs that they were forced to continue, despite the obvious danger, in order to keep the ship stabilized, but these stalwart crew members did not last long, and the ship slowly began to malfunction as an effect of nobody monitoring it. There were only a few reported incidents at first, but word of the danger quickly spread throughout the Ishimura. The crew were attacked by the Necromorphs while on their daily routines. One shuttle made it, but was carrying an Infector aboard, and so the contagion began to spread throughout the ship. As the Necromorphs slaughtered the remaining colonists, many attempted to flee on the emergency shuttles and reach the Ishimura. This did nothing to curb the violence taking place on the colony as the dead started to reanimate as instruments of the Marker's will: Necromorphs. Shortly after the Ishimura's arrival, the Marker was brought up to the ship along with the bodies of the deceased colonists and a no-fly order was issued immediately after. However, this was exactly what the Marker was designed for the artifact was sentient and required dead tissue in order to fulfill its function.

This led to a series of violent incidents in which colonists went insane and began committing wanton acts of murder and even suicide. Prior to the Ishimura's arrival, the colonists on Aegis VII were experiencing mass dementia as a result of a signal emanating from the Marker. In truth, however, the Ishimura had been commissioned by the Church of Unitology to recover a relic unearthed on Aegis VII, an alien artifact known as a Marker. The ship's final mission took it to the restricted Cygnus system where it was supposedly to conduct a planet-cracking operation for CEC.
The Ishimura had been in service for 62 years prior to the Second Aegis VII Incident. She had a dedicated medical wing, where extensive research into virology, toxins and genetics was conducted. Despite being designed primarily as a mining vessel, the Ishimura also functioned as a medical research vessel. The Ishimura had the ability to lock onto asteroids and pull them into her massive collection bays for smelting.
She was also the first ship capable of the "scan and catch technique" for harvesting mineral-rich asteroids using huge gravity tethers. She was created for mining and smelting entire planets and moons. Built in 2446, the Ishimura was hailed as the saviour of Earth and the Sovereign Colonies, and a symbol of mankind's innovation.
