it's time for NewTechnologyWhichSolvesProblems!
Unbeknownst to our valiant përses, the B.P. is crewed by 63 large, muscular, and very surly Voinans - Voinans who carry around a 84mm neutron pistol at all times.
Oasa quickly boards a Voinan transport* and instructs his crew to fight to the last man - and self-destruct the ship if they can take out the Good Guys' heroes. Voinans, when payed enough, are very loyal you see. And too stupid to realize money isn't worth anything when they're dead.
Waving one last goodbye to his beleagured ship, Oasa escapes from the B.P. undetected. He sets a course for the west side of Ursla, where no one will be able to find him.
Six hours later, Oasa quietly lands in a grassly glade. Taking out his Fuzz-prod, he stuns eighty Fuzzes and throws the unconscious animals into the transport's cargo holds. Then, before he leaves, Oasa detonates a FuzzBomb^. He then departs quietly back to the V.E.S. Bonemangler with the only fuzzes left in existence. Just as the transport achieves escape velocity, Oasa catches sight of a blinding flash of light on the ground. Ah, my lackeys must have blown themselves up, he considers. I hope they took those awful përses with them.
The three remaining cruisers in high orbit quickly initiate a hyperjump. By the time the devastated survivors of the explosions on Ursla notice, Oasa is three jumps away, safe from the Azdgari fleet.
"Commander Grishk, lay in a course for Borb Station. They'll be expecting us. And make sure we don't encounter any pesky enemies. Go the long way if you have to."
Two questions now torment the Good Guys: where have the Fuzzes gone, and why....
continued tomorrow - and I'd appreciate it if rooster would assume I got to Borbtropolis OK with my Fuzzie cargo.

*crescent fighter with the armor of a Voinan, weaponry removed
^sorta like a smoke bomb, but it kills Fuzzes. All of them. On the planet.
