TAW Romulus

A colonial ship bound for Mars, TAW Romulus suffered hull damage from space debris, losing integrity of one of its two hydrogen fuel reservoirs. The lives of his passengers at risk, Captain Jesus Gabron overrode the autopilot and approached the nearby TKAG Asteroid-Minenschiff Drei, which was returning to Lunar shipyards after a successful asteroid mining operation.
Gabron established comms and asked the TKAG miner to jettison its cargo and retrieve fuel and water from Mars. This was refused, but Gabron convinced the mining vessel to take a handful of women and children in its limited crew space. These women were chosen for the fact they had more family on Romulus, so once they were aboard Gabron sent his orders - to capture the mining vessel else their family would likely die. The women locked the children in a sealed module before sabotaging the oxygen supply. When Gabron's boarding party arrived, the women were found suffocated, alongside the original crew.
