They safely make it to the Covenant/UNSC/Half-Life stronghold.
... which is currently under attack by borg forces... my surface warriors (the crew of the 30 downed cubes) have been upgraded with ballistic armour, but they do not yet have the modified shield technology taken from the covenant that is now being used by by cubes in orbit. With most enemy ships either out-of-system or making repairs, the borg take this chance to break orbit from the second gas giant and form a perimeter off of the main planet.
Casey's forces pile back onto the dropship, knowing that they can in no way take on the combined crew of 30 cubes. Not even his squad of Jedi can handle that many.
Casey's dropship begins taking fire. Fortunately, a group of Y-wings on a routine patrol pick up the distress call and take out the phaser (sorry, I don't know what the Borg use so I'm just gonna use the generic Star Trek weapon) battery.
