“Easy does it.” Sykes slowed his raptor and used the ship’s searchlight to illuminate the landing bay inside the basestar. There was a great open space inside, exactly like the schematics plan indicated. Their was a old heavy landing ship inside that had split in two on the far end, other than that the raiders that were suppose to be housed inside were not there. They could have already been launched in the battle over forty years ago.
Sykes hovered his raptor above the deck and then slowly rotated the ship 180 degrees to face toward the entrance way. The other raptors and vipers inside hovered above his ship as he finally landed on the hard deck. “We’re good.” he said into the wireless. “Everyone else find a spot and then deploy your marines.” The vipers with their landing lights on would hover above to provide cover till the marines were fully deployed.
