Three distinct grouping of miscellaneous pirate vessels made up from many different gangs all decided to ambush the fleet that came out of the transition entry zone from the nearest dimmest star.
They even pulled out all the stops somehow by planting a minefield in the vague area around the entry zone!

The seasoned Vandals depended on two distinctive advantage to weather the storm.
First, their combat carriers may not be able to match up against the vessels of an elite mech regiment, but they certainly withstood anything the pirates could throw at them for a couple of minutes!
