Then deploy them on the station as anti ship units, they are ordered to take shots that are gaurenteed hits, this has a lower firing rate but a better chance at hitting the targets, also deploy the special big gun MS (the art unit) on the station as well to target the ships or if possible the enemy special MS.

Sirens sound. Alarms flash. Cables fall away and pistons rotate. Zeon pilots congregate together getting one last smoke in before adorning their helmets and rushing off to the Zakus.
All around the orbital station, soldiers, technicians, pilots and mechanics rush to launch the 7th fleet's forces. You watch from the command deck of the Musai Light Cruiser, newly christened Wrath of the Awakened. All around you, command staff watch massive display screens from their stations.
The Zaku Squads launch, as does the Special MS, the Dopp Fighters and two of the Gunships. On the station, a Big Gun Team adjusts their massive beam cannons. The MAS-1 is also positioning itself on the rocky surface of the station.
"Enemy has deployed mobile suits!" A tech yells, pressing several buttons on their station.
"Tell the assault leaders to meet their charge," You say. Captain Lennstett, standing next to your chair, relays your orders. You shift in your chair, eyeing the screen before you. You motion at Lennstett. "Tell the long range station forces to open fire,"
"Big Gun Team, MAS," A command staffer says, speaking into a headset. "Open fire!"
As the Zaku II's, Dopps and their escorts streak towards the approaching fleet, the Big Gun Team back on the station opens fire. Their powerful weaponry sends purple streaks of light across space. The MAS also opens fire, launching high-kinetic rounds from its gun barrels.
"The range is too great," A staffer says, studying a display screen. "We can't hit them,"
"Open fire with the Wrath of the Awakened!" You command. "Fire the Orbital station rail gun!"
You see, rather then hear, the station hum below your ship. Lights begin to flicker around a section of the station, and two large panels open up. An equally large barrel extends from the opening, and begins to glow.
"Rail gun at 96% charge!"
"Fire!" You yell, leaning forward in your chair.
The rail gun flashes, and the Musai Light Cruiser opens fire. More colors join the streaks of destruction being shot from the Big Gun Teams. The rail gun hits a MPAP-MS, disintegrating it. The Halan Heavy Industry ships return fire.
The two sides of mobile suits finally enter each others' range. They blast towards each other at full speed, releasing everything. The Zakus fore their beam cannons, the MPAP's and mystery MS's launch clouds of missiles. Explosions rock space, lighting up the distant darkness.
Your ship continues to fire, the battle playing out on the screen in front of your chair. You're simply watching now while Captain Lennstett and Vice Admiral Kubric bark orders. Now that the mobile suits have met, all there is to do now is see who are the better fighters.
The MPAP's go down quickly. The Zaku's more than hold their own, and the addition of the Dopp fighters causes the enemy a significant amount of frustration.
Despite the fact that the MPAP's are all destroyed, the battle does not end. The mystery gundams are not only more skilled than the MPAP's, but the tech in their mobile suits is clearly superior. The fighting turns vicious as the Zakus and Dopps try and overcome the three powerful cube mobile suits.
Kshatrya, piloted by the New Type Ingris, engages the other special MS. You watch the two streak around space at unbelievable speeds. The trail of their boosters marks the darkness beyond the station. The two special mobile suits clash again and again. Explosions light up around them.
The Halan Heavy Industry ships have joined the mobile suit fray. This brings them in range of all your ships and the orbital station, but it also puts your two forward gunships under heavy fire. To the captains' credits however, they unleash an equal amount of firepower, keeping the enemy ships at a range that your station and the Musai cruiser take full advantage of.
The battle finally ends after one of the Halan ships explodes in a rapturous ball of orange and white fire. The explosion is like a small sun, blinding everyone with a viewing computer.
The remaining two mystery mobile suits try to break away from the Zakus and Dopps to return to the last Halan ship. The Kshatrya and special mobile suit continue fighting however, clashing again and again.
Ingris suddenly gets the upper hand, and uses her mobile suit to tear the other one in half. The two pieces spark in the darkness as the Kshatrya holds them triumphantly.
"Sir!" A staffer says, holding their headset to their ears. "Halan is attempting to escape with one ship and two mobile suits, our forces are asking if they should pursue!"
"Give me a status on our forces!" You yell, pointing at a screen.

We can't let the enemy get away with attaching our forces!
Bring our light cruiser and the gunships to aim at its engines
The damage is t to bad, the loss of three pilot series is bad but can be managed.
The gunship should pull back a bit.
Also prep commando teams for boarding actions!
Edited: also after combat ends have the pilots and crews report for debriefing as well as to congradulate them on their performance.
If your soildiers love and respect you they will follow you into hell and back. But have a firm and steady hand at the ready in case things go south.
Also we're going to have allot of wreckage to use as resupply and study.
If we've can upgrade our Zaku II's to even better heights we can then increase our special MS suits to higher levels then ever!

"Pursue the enemy, full speed ahead," You say, gazing at the screen. "I want that ship,"
"Thrusters at full speed!" Captain Lennstett yells. "Order assault teams to pursue! I want the commando units on standby for boarding action!"
The Wrath of the Awakened breaks away from the orbital station, flaring up its engines full blast towards the distant wreckage of mobile suits and the ship. The third Zamouth Nada ship follows.
The five undamaged Zakus group together and blast off after the retreating mobile suits. Ingris also catches sight of the fleeing Halan forces, and stears the Kshatrya full tilt towards the ship.
The remaining Halen ship slowly turns to retreat, opening fire with all its weapons. The Zakus can't catch up with the retreating mobile suits, but the Kshatrya can. Ingris swerve down, cutting them off from the ship, then releases a swarm of missiles.
Your computer screen lights up as you watch the missiles explode. The fire takes out both mobile suits.
The forward gunships circle wide around the retreating Halen ship. Their weapons find the sides of the enemy, then blast ahead to target its engines. The enemy ship manages to hit one of the gunships at point blank, nearly tearing it in half. The other gunship repays the damage with a full barrage to the engines.
The enemy ship shudders, then drifts directionless with its engines sparking.
"Launch the boarding teams!" You yell. Captain Lennstett repeats the order. The pods erupt from the Wrath of the Awakened and the gunships.
The pods impact on the ship. You nod at a nearby command staffer, who turns a dial on the screen and brings up the boarding party feeds. The commandos are rushing through the ship, taking down any who try and stop them.
The operation comes to an end as the commandos breach the command deck. They secure the ship, capturing 80 crew members.
5IR have been processed from the mines. Current balance is 10IR.
Europa-1 Population center is now at Level 1 Assimilation.

no sense of waste...
spend 7IR into spare parts to refit our current forces, spend the rest of the three IR to upgrade the rest of our forces with the new system captured from the enemy to as many suits as possible, prioritize the Kshatrya and the rest of the Zaku's then the MS artillery platform.
edited: since we don't have enough space, take the prisoners and insure they don't have any weapons or communication equipment on them, use a soft but firm hand in interrogations.
wait until we get another 10 IR to spend on the security center. we don't expect them to switch sides (that would be stupid) but we should put them in at least decent area for human habitation and working off their debt to Zeon by working with oversight.
at least until we can be sure they wont cause issues with the local populace.
also we should spend a turn or two deciphering the new ships logs and technology, see if there's any improvements we can make to our current forces from them and then take it to see if we can turn it to Zeon's cause!

this is gundam as well as a quest, also a corporation planet, as long as were not dicks to the populace they wouldn't care on whos in charge, as long as they can live their livelihood. and if we present a better chance at that they WILL take it.

Moreso they're just fringe settlers (well, several generations beyond that by now) and will bow to anyone they deem powerful enough to protect/not kill them. That was Halan. Now it's you.

which makes them all the more likely to turn to Zeon, especially since we have a culture center, and soon a Security center to boot! in time we will turn this into a bastion of Zeon!!!
