Soon after, the backup power thrums into existence, and dim emergency gangway lights reveal the extent of the damage: no power to any of the systems, and a mound of dirt collected up and along the ship-long crack in the bottom hull, rendering the bottom hatch, as well as the aft bay doors, impossible to pass.The mighty cruiser has made her last voyage.As Pog and Tilon simultaneously inquire after each other's health in the engineering room, Kerraccor retaliates against the inanimate object that viciously attacked him during the crash. The co-pilot's flight wheel surrenders seconds later, falling to the deck with a dull metallic thud.Kerraccor announces his intentions, and to the Wookiee's surprise, Shom unbuckles himself, stands and responds to him, "Good call, and by the way, thank you. You are, hands down, the best pilot I've ever had the pleasure to fly beside."Shom then turns on his comlink, and speaks into it on the crew frequency set by everyone before the voyage. "Okay, let's get the crew topside first, and if the coast is clear, we follow up with the refugees."Pog stands watch at the top hatch until a large, furry arm gently shoves him aside, and Kerracor climbs out the top hatch, Shom, Hiru and Pog himself following closely behind. A moment later, Denny, Tilon, and Ka Jor join the others. The refugees await in the lobby below the top hatch, ready to climb out as soon as word is given.From atop the wreck of the Sanctuary, there is an excellent elevated view of the surrounding area. The ship has left a long stretch of cleared ground in its wake, otherwise the long grass stretches as far as the eye can see. The herd of animals you saw while crashing seems to have been scared some distance away, although one particularly adventurous one does seem to be venturing back towards the ship.You have to reach to cover your ears, as the sound caused by the wind running through the grass is like a billion knives being sharpened. From the west, you see what looks like blaster fire. Past the tall berm of dirt and dead grass left by your former spacecraft, you see a new variety of repulsortank slowly blasting its way through the mass of grass and advancing towards you. From behind it two Single Trooper Aerial Platforms (STAPs) pop up and begin to approach.The crew can also make out a squad of ten battle droids marching behind the repulsortanks.[You are all atop the Sanctuary. In two rounds, the STAPs will be within range of your current position. Shom reminds you that the droids piloting the STAPs will not fire unless you fire first, or do not drop your weapons when asked. The repulsortanks, as well as the battledroids, must carefully cut their way through the bladegrass, and are considerably farther behind.]</blockquote>
