The Athoras Encounter

The Athoras Encounter was a conflict between the ScSS Banabhatta and the Xuelth Smuilian Gangsters in orbit of Athoras in Syropha 326AE.
Build Up
Captain Reh'Jii'Kolos of the Banabhatta had been selling parts of the ship to the Gangsters for years and lining his pockets with the profits. When he was arrested and sent to jail Captain Ejjina Mexonber-Quad took command and with the command staff tracked down the Gangsters via the trail of destruction their piracy had left behind them.
The Banabhatta tracked them to the Xuelth System.
The Battle
The Banabhatta used two shuttles, fitted with PEP cannons, Icebreaker programmes and additional shielding as attack ships which they hid in high orbit above and below the moons of Desurion and Karyuudo.
The Gangsters sent out their seven ships to combat the Banabhatta and in the first exchange of fire the Banabhatta crippled the largest ship and destroyed another.
Using Icebreaker programmes to keep the Gangsters fire light and uncoordinated the Banabhatta led them between the moons of Desurion and Karyuudo. Here they unleashed a barrage of fire on the volcanoes of Desurion, leading to at least four major eruptions blocking a huge area between the moons. With the area to manoeuvre in significantly reduced the two shuttles came online and added their Icebreaker and PEP firepower to the Banabhatta.
With the combined power of major volcanic eruptions takign out four of the remaining ships the final one was quickly battered into submission.
Aftermath
After the battle the Gangsters were removed by the Sky Marshalls and their bases found and the loot they had taken from 24 ships they had attacked was catalogued and confiscated.
The Banabhatta crew's morale was significantly improved by the victory, and instead of being the joke of the Green Fleet the ships crew were now proud to introduce themselves as members of the Banabhatta.
The reward to the Banabhatta was the equivilent of 150% of the ships usual yearly budget and allowed the ship to restock and repair the damage that had been done by Captain Reh'Jii'Kolos.
