Still intact within the Depot was a functioning ''[[Colossus (DropShip class)|Colossus]]''-class [[DropShip]] in pristine condition. Both mercenary units immediately laid claim to the DropShip, and with neither willing to compromise a grueling combat was initiated that saw both units taking heavy casualties.
