Martinique's Escape

[Les Salopards]

"Balian I presume? Let's get this going then." Chantal stood, leading the newcomer from the base's head office. The hallways were empty, only emergency systems running. As they came to the docking bay there sat a Cuirassier and Stellion waiting. They boarded their ships, with the station's systems shutting down as the bay doors closed behind them.

"Alright everyone, this is it. We're moving these pieces to their new home." Chantal looked around at the escorts of Brigand and Maquis fighters that gathered. Below Narbonne sat three heavy lifters, each carrying a section of the station. "Groups B and C, follow your paths and stay out of trouble. Go." Two of the lifters started to leave, taking different directions and each with an escort of 4. "Balain, you're with me, this one is going through the hot zone. We'll grab any attention from patrols, so be ready to fight. The other two should be in the clear. Cyrus, let's go." "Right, powering up." The last lifter attached itself to the section of base the two fighters left. After a few moments he took off in the direction of Cerbere, 5 fighters in tow. The flight was silent, every ship watching their scanners for patrols. It wasn't until they left the nebula and neared the Gap Debris Field did something appear. "We have them on sight, messieurs!" the comms rang out as a wing of Navy fighters came into sight. "Senor, I'm detecting hostiles." one of the Maquis rang out, shortly followed by another Maquis shouting "Royalist scum in sight! Prepare for battle!" "Escorts, break off and intercept. Protect the cargo at all costs." Chantal commanded as the fighters broke off of the lifter, it continuing its path.

Cyrus drifted through the asteroid field, looking for the dropoff point. The asteroids here were big, big enough to hide their new home, yet still made it hard for their own people to find it. After an hour of searching he rounded a group of rocks and found it, a cloud of ships at work. Cyrus powered towards it, the two lifters, 10 fighters, and 3 Corse Rock Badgers coming into clear sight. "Oi, I have the final piece here, are we ready to set up?"
