Still holes. I could accept that explanation if ships jumped directly into Low Orbit, but they didn't. They should have been vaporized.
50 Gigatons would still kick everything's ass.
I know how big the Mantle's Approach is. Why did a low yield mining charge wreck it?

They could have used a microslipspace jump... but we can't see shit from the Cairo anyway. 2. 50 Gigatons is overkill, it could be 1 Gigaton but it wouldn't make a difference if the rounds missed :P. 3. Cortana specifically stated that the nuke would not stop the Composer unless the Internal Shield was taken down. This small mining charge was an excavation grade 30MT Havoc nuke.
