The Rebel Faction

Then all the ORS ships moved activated their tractor beams. Straining their engines to the maximum they managed to pull the Sovereign out of the inexorable pull of the gravity well and establish it a safe orbit

Such Grammar errors, compared to the mostly good spelling and perfect sentence structre of the rest of the post. One might wonder, hmmm, if this wasn't hurriedly inserted?:eye

I also just don't see how that would be possible. The laws of intertia dictate that the amount of force necessary to pull an SSD out of such a fall would be exponentially huge. Given that you would have to be pulling it -- moving backwards, the direction in which you have the least force -- I think it'd be more likely that your ships would be pulled down with it.

Hell, you said it yourself, the pull of gravity was inexorable. So how did you manage to reverse it in two sentences?

But it would be a slowly destabilizing orbit. A few corrections right away would have saved it from dropping.

It's not just speed, it's momentum and inertia, which increase exponentially. An SSD is 1142 times the size of the average fighter but would develop FAR more than 1142 times the momentum.

No, not exactly. But that's part of the reason.
