I'm fine with the traitor/deserter aspect. As for the outpost, assume it had shields, but not ones strong enough to withstand a barrage of turret fire from and Aurora class battleship as, while they are extremely powerful, the shields found on Ancient Outposts burn a ton of energy since they were not made for lengthy periods of use. I'd say a couple hours of constant bombardment would be all it takes to drain the power sources for the shields in question.

and if you're doing a couple of hours bombardment... why not call for backup?/counter attack. Honestly I feel like it may be better if you had him simply flee. It raises more questions having him turn traitor.
