As the Sathar vessels pull into range, the laser battery on the station opens fire on the lead Sathar cruiser but the shot goes wide.
In response, the Sathar unleash a devastating volley of return fire. Two of the cruisers' Disruptor Cannons rip into the station, one tearing into the hull (14 pts, 44 left) and the other igniting a disastrous fire cutting the stations DCR in half and damaging it's combat systems. Miraculously, none of the Sathar destroyers' laser cannons connect with the station.
A full dozen laser battery beams reach out toward the station but only three of them connect, all of which rip into the station's hull (4, 8 & 7 HP respectively, 25 HP left). The dozen electron batteries don't do any better with only two hitting the station. Again both tear into the hull (6 & 9 points, 10 remaining). Only one of the four proton battery shots from the cruisers connect with the station, knocking out its ICM launcher.

As the station emerges from the debris cloud of the first volley, it is still functioning but barely. The Sathar cruisers quickly move to rectify that situation once again open fire with their Disruptor Cannons. This time three of them connect, all with the hull (7, 14 & 19 HP) causing the station to disintegrate before their eyes (-30 HP) (And two of those shots would have done double damage if it weren't for the +20 modifier for the DC
).
The final shot from the station as it falls apart again goes wide.
The first blow against the Frontier has fallen and the Sathar now control the K'tsa-Kar system.
The Laws of Physics will be enforced.
