RWBY and JNPR definitely survive, but not sure about the other teams. Ruby is crushed by the turn of events, with Yang pretty much the only source of comfort (since Taiyang is probably on the front, alongside Qrow). The new season begins with them arriving in Atlas. I'm guessing that the Atlesian cruiser in your scenario is from a reinforcement squadron that the Atlesian Council mobilized the moment Cinder hijacked the feed. However, since Eps 6, 8, AND 9 ALL took place over the course of 24-48 hours at most, combined w/ the fact that this Grimm attack includes A HERD OF GOLIATHS THE SIZE OF BUILDINGS THAT CAN DESTROY THE CITY JUST BY WALKING THROUGH IT, I'm not entirely sure such reinforcements would arrive in time to be of much help. -He who is AWESOME Chances are there were more than 3 cruisers present (The intro has a bajillion.75 of them), but there is definately not enough to save the city, especially since Torchwick is using the dead man's gun so to speak. But there could be some reinforcements on standby in worst case scenario (which as we have seen in previous episodes, no one had actually prepared for).

I really hope they do go to Atlas (it probably being the safest place in Remnant, despite the military having issues), it'd be nice to see Weiss' home country (maybe they stay at Schnee manor, or Atlas Academy (which is probably White Castle), OK, just so we're clear, when I say 'cruisers' I mean the big capital ships like the one Torchwick is on. In the intro, there's only one in that shot like Sentry 616 said; the rest of the vehicles in that shot were what I referred to as 'gunships' in my 1st post on this thread (Sentry 616 called them 'dropships', but since Breach showed that they can serve both functions, the terms can probably be used interchangeably; I'm sticking w/ 'gunships').

LIKE I SAID IN MY FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD: the most Atlesian cruisers we've seen onscreen at once is 3: 3 docked w/ Beacon in the episode Ironwood is introduced, 2 were in the sky above Vale at the end of Breach when RWBY was patting themselves on the back, and IIRC, when Ironwood is showing Qrow the hologram of his security forces in Ep3 or 4 of this Volume, there are for-sure 2, AT MOST 3 shown in that hologram... let's call it 'protecting' Amity Coliseum.

I will concede that one of the Kingdoms (my money's on Atlas) probably had some reinforcements on standby in case of a worst case scenario (which this shit most definitely qualifies as).

@Mercen-X give me a timestamp where there are 15 cruisers, and I'll believe you.
