You see anon, it wasn't in orbit. They wanted overhead coverage of the target area but a geostationary orbit is far too distant. So instead they position themselves overhead and use active (massless) thrust to remain in space. When the engines fail they fall.

Now when your dogfighting in space and you want to turn you cant just turn like in the game asteroids, instead your controls position an projected a micro black hole outside your ship that you swoop around. Actually using the black holes as a weapon is locked out in firmware as this is against the interspecies aggression treaty, it's only allowed to be used to make dogfights look cooler.
