[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 2688412, member: 10948"] Those gathered outside of the Dawnsprinter begin to hear the unmistakable sound of a starship approaching. Arais stiffens momentarily at Kia's news concerning multiple inbound ships. "This changes things completely. The Imperials could be sending in another group of ground troops in the other shuttle, which likely means they will try and encircle the village." Just as he finishes speaking, a large, bulky ship clears the treetops and slows to a stop approximately thirty meters from the Dawnsprinter, and begins its descent to land. "Damn!" Arais swears. "I thought we had more time than this. Kal, Aasan, time to move. Get as close as you can without getting spotted, we'll try and keep their attention on us for as long as we can." [center]***[/center] A quick search of the CORSEC database and Kia finds a detailed schematic of a typical Imperial Assault Shuttle. There is little detail in the internal workings of the ship, but extensive notation concerning the external armanents, armor plating, normative shield strength, etc. There is also a listing of suggested tactics of evasion and combat maneuvers, but only a few lines concerning the craft while on the ground: [i]While the shuttle is EXTREMELY dangerous while in flight, it is unusually vulnerable while on the ground.
