You decide to perform a bombing run- it's the best way to hit the critical supports of the superstructure without worrying about your particle bombs losing power at distance, and its the best way to ensure you get it right the first time- to avoid any mobilizing fleet the Baalathi might be preparing.
You also call down fire support in the form of your frigate- its powerful lasers will shred the Baalathi probes. Unfortunately, its too big for the atmospheric air foils like your fighter craft, and lacks maneuverability.
However, there seems to be a strange <span class="mu-i">lack</span> of defensive ships and drones here. Did the Baalathi just assume nobody would take offense to them colonizing every gas giant uninvited in your local sector? It's practically undefended, minus a few anti-asteroid cannons on the outside of the ring. That's the reason why you're flying on the underside.
<span class="mu-b">"Watch out for those magnet ships!"</span> You say on local comms, the large frigate being totally unable to defeat those Azurium coated crafts. <span class="mu-b">"Get away from the superstructure! Those magnet ships can't go far from their charging ports on the installation!"</span>
The frigate is partially damaged by a magnetic attack by one of the magnetic ships. "We've lost one emergency heating coil, captain."
<span class="mu-b">"Don't you dare let that warp core get damaged! Without it, we're sitting ducks!"</span>
