The Seedship drops down a surface probe, which explores the area.

The artificial structures and electromagnetic activity are the result of a still-running mining station with a few missile tubes manned by automated systems. The moon has already been mined and is barren, but the space station (armed with a few railguns and some defense droids) is carrying most of the mined resources. The surface probe would not be able to bring back a significant amount of resources, but perhaps....

(probe not yet recovered)

(Partly open ended: I will suggest options, but they are not the only ones.)

Possible options:

1. Try to snatch the loot in the space station and scram before the defense cannons on surface and in orbit start shooting at the Seedship

2. Negotiate with the Mining Station AI

3. recover probe, leave the planet

You may also suggest options.
