Here's a rough guesstimate:
All three/four of the major powers (Manticore, Grayson, Haven) dislike
slavery (probably the Andermani. Torch is enthusiastically supported by
Manticore and Haven and is at war with Manpower Inc./Mesa which is
supported by some bureaucrats in the League.
Mesa arranges for some "outrage" to occur, the League bureaucrats send a
few ships to "investigate", find that Torch was engaged in piracy and
send a combined OFS/SLN fleet to stop the "pirates". The OFS decides to
drop a few nukes on Torch, at which point the SLN contingent engages the
OFS.
And then all hell breaks loose.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
