− [[Star Captain]] [[Brucalter Sheridan]], commanding the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser ''[[Inquisitor (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|Inquisitor]]'', led the attack on Babylon VI. His ships jumped to a [[Pirate Point]] near the planet, and after releasing their DropShips, the JumpShips used their lithium-fusion batteries to jump away. The DropShips pursued as many of the fleeing miner's craft as they could, and the ''Inquisitor'' fired what were intended as warning shots near the colony. Two of the shots landed close enough to partially collapse underground structures, however, which inspired a frenzied counterattack by over a dozen DropShips against the lone WarShip.<ref name=HOP42/> + [[Star Captain]] [[Brucalter Sheridan]], commanding the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser ''[[Inquisitor]]'', led the attack on Babylon VI.
