HOPE INTO A STARFIGHTER AND BLOW UP TIES AND MAKE STRAFING RUNS ON A STAR DESTROYER, EVERYONE WELCOME
Shepard had spent the first day on the ground, but when the troopers started bringing in heavy weapons she had to change her strategy. Of primary concern was the massive starship that appear in low earth orbit. Wedge shaped and easily viewed from the ground, Shepard had rounded up some volunteers and shuttled up to the Normandy. Her ship was just a frigate, but a heavily armed and armored frigate with a main canon capable of cutting through most armor. She was also fast and agile which was the only reason the Star Destroyer hadn't blown them to bits.
It was about eight times longer than the her ship and very much wider. But she had every intention of blowing it out of the sky. The problem was even the main cannon of the Normandy was having trouble penetrating the shields.
"We really need to take out that thing's shields."
