One thing comes to mind, if the miners have the energy to change the orbits of the asteroids and hang the threat of bombarding earth if independence is not granted. The earth only has two choices, sent them nuclear love notes and kisses, or people to stop them. In this theoretical situation the down side of nukes is the explosions could dislodge asteroids from their orbits and that could threaten earth. So your heroine and her group goes out to stop the radicals.
