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.

If he was slightly more dropped than set down, well, he was real brand new to this.

"How...?" He'd be very thankful later. For now he was confused and he'd just been shot.
