Battle of Asstek  

Quadrant 7.  Grid 653084.  Stardate 3197.079.

This battle in the Asstek system was originally kept secret by the Esteelers until it became clear that this was part of a widespread threat to humanity.

This was their first contact battle with the alien enemy. They reportedly engaged what has since been identified as two fully operational Exterminators which had just destroyed the colony and station on Asstek.  

The Quadrant 7 fleet under Admiral Would was severly mauled, but managed to withdraw a number of ships. Reports indicate that at least one of the Exterminators was badly damaged in the fight.
