The Hiigarans debated among themselves if they should in fact follow the orders of the council. They did not take lightly the threat of fighting the advanced Bentausi, but as the only other option was to simply give up, they decided to make a fight of it. The Bent
ausi arrived to retrieve the core and found as expected the Higaran fleet lying at anchor, powered down. Their flagship which contained the core was dormant and the core half exposed and ready for removal..when the Higarans struck. Every ship suddenly was thrown into an emergency power up cycle bringing their weapons online with no warning, every ship that could fired on the single Bentausi ship, their great harbor ship of Bentus, targeting the Bentausi's own hyperspace core, risking everything on this one throw of the dice. 

Unfortunately, the Higarans failed. Their opening salvo did not cripple the Bentausi flagships core and using its power, the Bentausi pulled in through hyperspace combat ready battle groups that had been waiting nearby, starting an enormous battle. The Higarans fought superbly, their flagship hyper spacing around the battleground to continually lend its aid to ships that started to struggle, but Bentus was always right behind it, matching every maneuver it made. Steadily, the superior technology of the Bentausi started to tell and the Higaran fleet collapsed. In a final act, the Higaran flagship crashed itself into the Angel Moon of Higara, detaching the core at the last second which was presumed destroyed in the explosion.
