| From Hyperspace Four Robot controlled ships descended in time with the arrival of ships at Ruisto. Each sailed on a direct course at 20 MGLT toward Mon Calamari shipyards making no combat or aggressive moves but ignoring incoming comms from the Calamarians and more suspiciously, seemingly aiming to converge at a single point which moved closer and closer to to the main yards. Scans would reveal large amounts of oxidising solvents onboard and several dozen lifeforms on each.

| (( My response assumes that you refer to "robot ramships" ranging from, say, 50 to 200 meters in length. ))
The Mon Calamari Shipyards were not now as great as they would be in later times. In this, an era of peace, the shipyards were geared more toward the construction of luxury liners than the famed warships of the distant future. Nonetheless, the shipyards were Dac's planetary industry and would be reasonably well-defended. Dac benefited in particular from there being few generally-known hyperroutes through Calamari Space; Dac would invariably have received advanced warning of the approaching ships from sensor buoys in the hinterlands (Ruisto, too, would be similarly notified in advance).
The fact of Kerubiel's ramships being expected by no world on the Overic Griplink this side of Reginard would make them suspicious enough already; that they didn't answer the Calamari attempts to hail them was additionally so. Moreover, they were easily-identifiable either as "robot" ships or slave-circuited derelicts by the lack of any internal communications. The life signs aboard were either hostages—perhaps some poor dregs from Vavatch—or more probably nerfs, or any of the less noble vermin of Vavatchi origin.
These, however, were presumptions that the defenders of Dac and its shipyards weren't willing to make, nor did they need to. What mattered to them was that the ships appeared to be unattended and on a collision course with the Mon Calamari Shipyards. The handful of turbolaser emplacements situated around the shipyard complex would probably prove less useful than the many, many tractor beam arrays for use for the construction of ships and for traffic control, and just as easily used to retard the progress of the ponderously slow-moving ramships. There was plenty of time to bring multiple tractor beams to bear on each of the four vessels (more so the closer they came to the complex), and to deploy squadrons of amphibious fighters, some of which were ion torpedo-equipped. The fighters, in flights of three, would set courses to intercept the Kerubielite ships, but would make several fly-bys before doing anything so drastic as opening fire.
Attempts to hail the ships would continue in the meantime, as deflector shields were raised over portions of the shipyard and its turbolaser emplacements calculated targeting solutions on the approaching ships. There were many Mon Calamari Navy ships in the immediate area; none were alerted at this time, though the minor commotion at the shipyards would be plain for them to see.

| The fireships full of water and duros exploded making duros icicles. Artistic but harmless.
