Silent Death House: Kashmere Commonwealth 1997

From the back cover:

Fighter pilot Yasmine "Jazz" K'yonar waited in the darkness of the tiny, converted cargo bay-the orange glow from her Marut's displays the only comforting light. Impatiently she thrummed the console near the launch button, waiting for the deployment light that would signal her entrance into the battle outside. She heard nothing, but through the docking clamps securing her Marut she felt the rumble of the plazgun charging in the next bay-a surprise for the pirates attacking what they thought was a defenseless freighter. Soon, she thought, soon it will be my turn to teach them the error of their ways-the fatal error. The deployment light flashed green and Jazz grinned fiercely as she slapped the launch button. The bay doors flew open and the Marut sprang from the bay, out into the silent storm of the battle raging around the Kashmere convoy.
