The Drones sped foreward, the one at point suddenly barrel rolled to the side, an insane maneuver for such a ship of its size, but it worked, the massive energy burst just missed the ship and it zipped past unharmed. A second blast tore towards them and slammed into the right side of a spidery drone cruiser, its shield fizzleing away into red dust and its whole right side being cleaved off, leaving a flameing wall of wreckage behind. The drone veered to the side, the ship breaking up... One Drone ship opened up, slowing down, its many limbs glowing with gamma radiation as it prepared to fire. weapons fire thuded into its shield, red fizzleing dust spreading out as the nano bots were destroyed and replaced. Suddenly its guns burst into action, Its main limbs fireing blue beam lasers while the bottem two lit up with muzzle flashes, fireing heavy disintergrater bolters. While only a fraction of the power of the battleship class, they were still effective and cutting holes through weaker armour and denting the tougher stuff. The Drones continued to spread out, a planetary shot colideing with a drones main hub, smashing right into its central red 'eye' The ship exploded violently, what remained of its weapons catering forewards surrounded by blue flames. One or two of the other cruisers opened up their lasers, their blue beams rippleing towards the enemy ships....
Martain felt the ground vibrate as the canons fired. He saw the bolts of energy riseing into the atmosphere from the distance, the sound of the cannons fireing reaching his ears moments later echoing throughout the Skaven sky like thunder... He whisspered into his comlink "Planetary defence guns just went hot. I repeat. Pressence of enemy planetary cannons confirmed." Planetary cannons were among the most feared weapons to the Maricans. It didn't matter what they fired, they were still increidibly dangerous and very difficult to detect without ground forces in place.
