After the shootdown of a monitoring drone and now the loss of communications with this shuttle, Klemperer Orbital has decided enough is enough, and perhaps issues an ultimatum to the Qarthadast ship to leave the system. This warning is ignored by the Qarthadast, and consequently a preliminary exchange of fire arises. Neither of these ships are purposefully outfitted for all-out battle, but their armaments are still very capable of devastation. I think Klemperer Orbital begins just by sending some probing drones or interceptors, trying to ascertain the limits of the Qarthadast ship systems, in an attempt to gain spectrum dominance over the electronic warfare domain. The Qarthadast probably shoot these down, so this is what you are seeing set the skies alight in the heavens above.
