Asteroid Belt, 13:48 Ceres Standard Time

A group of UAC mining vessels were going through their normal daily routines, scanning the Belt for valuable resources and drilling into asteroids which were detected as containing them. Business as usual. Work was going well today; they had come across a cluster of several large and reasonably rich asteroids, resulting in a larger than usual profit. Their holds were full, packed with valuable ores, and they were just about to head home to deliver their cargo when they caught sight of a series of white flashes nearby.

Twelve Prometheus Gargoyles, six Banshees, four Phantoms, and six Marauders dropped out of warp and immediately opened fire on the mining ships, their heavy weapons quickly tearing through the hulls of the UAC vessels. Many of the miners were destroyed within seconds.

After the initial volleys, the Prometheus ships began focusing on quickly disabling the engines of their prey, crippling as many as possible to prevent them from fleeing. One of the Phantom pilots had the idea to exploit the asteroids floating around nearby, and fired his torpedoes into one of them, sending out a spray of stone fragments which the disabled UAC ships had no way of dodging. Meanwhile, the others continued the attack.
