Exegol preplay

The ships exited hyperspace, and Poe's first thought upon seeing Exegol was that it looked dead. It was the the ugliest thing he'd seen in a long while, and he wondered if it had always been this way, or if building a colossal fleet of Star Destroyers here had killed the place.

And when the ships dived into the cloud cover, they nearly ran into the Sith fleet. It was massive. Their triangled hulls were enormous, but they grew even smaller as their numbers seemed to stretch into infinity.

"Great dark seas," Aftab Ackbar gasped across the comm. "Look at that!"

"No sign of the Falcon or allies," Tyce said from her ship.

"Help will get here," Poe assured them.

Staying back had the benefit of keeping him safe longer, but it wasn't long before he had Sith troopers lining up to fire on him as well as the others.

At least Stark had experience being shot at and shooting back. He'd be able to hold his own in a brief firefight, at least. He'd fought Peacekeepers and Scarrans and with less support. Although he was probably going to end up backed into a corner if he wasn't careful.

For the moment he was going to try and pick off troopers if he could.

Others could probably use that, too, as the troopers were mostly in groups. Partly for cover, partly because there were just so many more of them.

It did make them more easy pickings if someone was just trying to snipe one of two st a time, though.
