Pulling towards the starport, Jones dodged out of the way of the incoming battlebots falling from the sky. The one that had veered off course was soon joined by others which appeared to co-ordinate and fly off in formation deeper into the city. A collossal explosion was heard and one of the skyscrapers started collapsing int he distance.
As the starport drew nearer, the endless expanse of flat ferrocrete was littered with the tracer fire of laser exchanges between the invaders and security forces. A number of ships were still on the surface, though many of them seemed to be under significent damage. Three ships appeared to be gaining for takeoff, with the battlebots unable to get tot hem in time. One was a large cargo freighter, its bulk absent the many cargo pods attached to its frame, reducing the weight and allowing it considerable speed. Another appeared to be a corvette, small and sleek, it still had its cargo ramp down, evidently the crew its waiting on hadnt arrived despite the danger. The third was a medium sized private craft bristling with weapons and was openly firing on the invading ground forces in support of the security. It probably explained why it and the other ships hadnt been overrun and disabled yet.
