In that case, it must have broken off the Alexandria and taken massive damage to its subsystems in the process, much like what happened to the GTT Discovery, only that it's an Argo.

I believe the only reasons why the Grall took only 20% hull damage prior to the Skulls finding him is because it wasn't the only target for the Shivans, and that the Shivans were using all the wrong weapons.

Do they ever use the right ones?

They did in Argonautica and Return to Babel. Basilisks + Hornets = Dead Argo.

However, they used Nahemas with Piranhas in As Lightning Fall. With that kind of pea-shooter, the Argo should survive.

I remember a campaign about the GTVA ships that didn't make it to Gamma Draconis in time when the first Sathanas appeared... I don't remember the campaign's name, though. Was it Desperation?

IIRC Desperation was set after the second time the GTVA retreated, not the first.

so it was probably only capable of making a Hermes-like jump to a random point in the nebula before the engines died.

Snipes mentioned that the navigation buoys were dropped by the Alexandria, so I don't think the Grall managed to make a jump anywhere.

How about "What was the point in jumping if there were many useful nav buoys in the area?"

Jumping is a risk - you know what's around you when you jump out, but you don't know anything when you jump in. With the nav buoys there, the Grall simply had to wait for an SOC wing.
