Bergen Three

Bergen Three was a concentration of manufacturing, shipbuilding, and repair platforms constructed, owned, and operated by the Jerriais Consortium in the Bergen's Ring of the Danak System.
In 1544 PD, twelve concentrations of deep space infrastructure similar to Bergen Three were planned equidistantly around the Ring, but only Bergen One and Bergen Two were fully operational. Bergen Three was beginning operations while Bergen Four only possessed its initial habitat module.
In that year, a joint Havenite-Manticoran squadron led by Commodore Gustav Charnay of the Republic of Haven Navy attempted to execute Operation Embuscade in Danak to rescue the family of Max Baird, a Solarian merchant supposedly captured by Silesian pirates. In the subsequent Battle of Danak, the Havenites and Manticorans tried to lure Admiral Cutler Gensonne to split his force between Bergen Two and Bergen Three. The Havenites and Manticorans succeeded, but instead of splitting his battlecruisers Gensonne chose to direct three of his heavy cruisers to Bergen Three instead.
Brigadier Jean Massingill of the 303rd Special Commando Assault Force, Expeditionary on Bergen Three with two squads of her commandos had planned to board and capture two of the pirate vessels, a battlecruiser and a heavy cruiser. When Gensonne directed the three heavy cruisers instead, she was forced to improvise accordingly, splitting her teams into three units to board all three heavy cruisers. However when the cruisers - Copperhead, Adder, and Mamba - arrived, Captain von Belling of the Copperhead chose not to allow the yard teams onboard his ship or Adder until he had the opportunity to check their work.
Unfortunately a series of events later made von Belling suspicious and he attempted to flee Bergen Three. Unable to release the docking clamps holding his ship to the spacedock, he ordered a series of rolls in an attempt to wrench Copperhead free. The attempt succeeded, but changed the orientation of the ship so that when she activated her impeller wedge into destroyed Adder, Mamba, and the Bergen Three shipyard. ()
