That is what I figure based on the previous display seen on page 123.
The green path from page top to page right I think is the escape vector of the
Black Razor to Enedd.
Interesting that the supply depot is still intact on the Azimol vector.
I was also wondering about the icons on the Azimol vector. I now think that I was at first somewhat disoriented.
Since the beacon towards Rallis vector is still displayed, I would assume that the other beacons would also be displayed if they were intact. My interpretation is that the [destroyed]-icon near the Azimol vector is a destroyed beacon; which begs the question what the intact structure on the Azimol vector is.
The destroyed "supply depot" (which I thought you referred to) would be Gora relay, on the vector towards Seren (which Highland-7 was originally headed for):

while the intact structure on the Azimol vector is "Station 121", which the Prophet's Reason gave as a rendezvous-point:

Station 121 would not be something which we have seen illustrated in the comic. If it's still intact, I think that we can only speculate as to why. Maybe the hierarchy have yet not had time to disable the structure; which would make sense storywise, if the Higland-7 personnel is to be extracted by Prophet's reason. From the WIP it also looks like the Hierarchy make a U-turn after disabling the Azimol-beacon.
I don't know what the purposes of the different structures (relay, post, station, depot) are. Since the Station 121 is still intact, maybe it's not of military significance. Maybe it's not even big. Maybe it's displayed on the Highland-7's tactical view simply because it was marked an object of interest, while other insignificant stations just like it are not displayed by default.
[EDIT 1]
From the insider concept work, I gather that Loroi "Base station" and "Citadel" can be used synonymously:

while the tactical view (page 123) displaying icons resembling base station (Gora Relay and Leido Sala Post being BS-1 and Tizaba Depot being BS-5 respectively):

I could not find concept art of Station 121.

[EDIT 2]
Do we see three or four Hierarchy divisions in the system, in the WIP? There are four yellow ships with red position markers, where three of them bears a smaller red icon.
Comparing against page 128 where there are a total of 8 divisions (indicated in yellow), four indicated with a smaller red icon, and three reportedly splitting of from the main force.

Then there are additional three small red icons, from the deep-jump, on page 129:

In the WIP we can see four red trajectories. I interpret these as if three smaller divisions are remaining in the system, while the fourth (the hierarchy main force) is pursuing Black Razor to Enedd. The Hierarchy main force, which is not viewed in the WIP, would account for the forth small red icon on page 128. This would not account for the additional three red icons for the deep-jumpers.
