Bat Squadron soldiers ran through the base armed with their various weapons and they all surround the landing pads as 4 unidentified Hammerhead Corvettes land on them.

"Steady. Steady." Bat says and holds his hand up as he aims with his A280.

The ramp slowly lowers with a slight hissing sound and it hits the pad. Boots are heard hitting the metal ramp and Bat and his soldiers watch as 2 pilots walk out with 2 soldiers. One soldier wore a red uniform with yellow streaks on it and the other wore a regular Alderaanian soldier uniform. They both had the Alderaanian style helmet with the neck guard slanting down.

"That's far enough." Commander Mora tells them as he puts his finger on the trigger of his DC-15A rifle.

Bat looks around as the crews of the other 3 corvettes exit down the ramps. They each had 2 pilots and a few other soldiers wearing Alderaanian-like helmets. They all had Kueget LN-21 pistols holstered on their sides and many of them carried A280s.

"We come in peace?" The red clad soldier says and steps forward raising his hands.

"Lay down your weapons." Bat demands.

"Of course." The red clad man says and turns to the others and nods to them.

He unholsters his pistol and flips it around to where he holds the barrel and looks at Bat as he holds his hands up and gently places the blaster on the ground. The others all do the same and Bat Squadron soldiers step forward and pick up the blasters.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Bat asks as one of the soldiers hands him one of the pistols.

He looks at it as the man talks.

"My name is Captain Hinro. This is Sergeant Shuren, one of the pilots of the corvettes and a great soldier. Then this is Private Aldeen and Private Wend. We're from Alderaan. We were sent by Bail Organa to deliver you aid." The captain says.

"How does he know of us?" Bat asks.

"Word has reached his ears of your attacks on imperials." The captain says.

Bat slowly lowers his blaster and his men do the same.

"Can we lower our hands?" The captain asks.

Bat looks back at the mandalorian captain, Captain Rendin, who was hesitant to lower his blaster. He looks at Bat who nods to him and he finally lowers his rifle.

"Thanks." Captain Hinro says and everyone lowers their hands.

"What'd you bring?" Bat asks.

"Some food and rations, some spare parts, weapons and some old and new armor." Hinro says.

"We'll start unloading now." Bat says and motions to his men.

They start walking over to the ships and helping the other soldiers unload the heavy crates. Hinro looks at Bat and the others.

"Do you trust us?" He asks.

"Yeah...give them their weapons back." Bat says.

His men hand the Alderaanian men their weapons back and Hinro nods as he holsters his pistol.

"Sorry about that..." Bat says.

"No worry." Hinro says.

"Are you here to stay?" Bat asks.
