The commander of the corporate forces was an executive hand picked by his bosses as being most expendable. Ramos knew this, he knew they assumed something stupid would happen and if someone was going to die they preferred it be him. It's why he attacked the Rondyne before they could even be seen as duplicitous. The attack sort of worked except for the fact they had actual warships and not diplomatic vessels, but he felt exposing their deception was worth the damage his fleet was taking.
"Sir Ronerawth is engaging."
"It's about time those cowards did something, this is their shit show as well." Ramos felt the shots slam into the ship before the tech could tell him it was coming from the Ronerawth ships.
"Sir they are..."
"Yes I got that, get that idiot Sinclair on coms." Ramos was furious, he expected some level of screwing him over, he didn't expect it before the Rondyne were even dealt with. Instead of Sinclair showing on the communications it was Trezlan Lorentino the man he was sent to kill.
"Sorry Sinclair has turned over operations to me for the duration, how can I help you Mr. Ramos?"
"Would asking you to die be out of the question?"
"Completely, though if you guys just want to flee you're welcome to do that." Ramos sneered. He had been played, either by Ronerawth or Lorentino or both, but he would be damned if let them win.
"Fuck you." He killed the feed and instructed his people to ram Sinclair's ship. If he was going down, he'd go down killing Trezlan Lorentino, a noble goal for anyone he figured. The other members on the ship were not as enthused with dying and abandoned ship almost immediately. It was fine to Ramos, they would miss out on his triumph.

"Sir the lead corporate ship is going to ram us." I looked at the screen with bemusement.
"Stupid and ballsy, I would have liked Ramos."
