Over Caelmare.

A small Scarlet Battlegroup leaves slipspace, mainly compromised of transport Type 195 with a few sub capital escorts. The enter orbit of the planet and the transports immedietly dove downwards. As the transports starts nearing the clouds, the sub capitals opens up with their energy projectors, the beams flies just past the transports into the clouds and it started burning through cutting a small hole for the transports. However, not all of them made it through, 3 of the 8 type 195s crashed through the clouds, 2 of them sustained heavy damage to the maneuvering thrusters and they begin to lose control of the descent. The other had the ice cloud cut into it's hull, spilling a portion of it's cargo. All of the transports, now making it past the cloud begins to level out, they slow their descent and land, as for the 2 severly damaged crafts, the nav officer tried his best to level the craft out but in the end, the landing was at best, a controlled crash. One of the crashes into the land just off the abandoned loyalist base and the other crashes into the glacier just off the base, although further than the other one had. They'll have to retrieve the contents later. The Centurion units begins offloading the contents as one of the transports releases a swarm of nanobots which pushes its way into the base, making renovations and upgrades, a portion of the swarm begins making mining platforms on the glaciers which will drill into the resource rich land hiding underneath. Once the main control base has been finished and operational. The personell sent on the one way trip left the ships and made their way into the base. The ships will eventually be cannabilized or repurposed as another base with only one ship in case theres an emergency on the planet and they might need an attempt to leave the planet.
