The slipspace drive, in short, killed him due to A: radiation, or B: being ripped apart.
Why B? Simply put, the portal was a small sphere, then expanded outward. It started in the center of the Corvette. The hanger bay went in before the outer hull, which that only would rip the ship apart, causing heavy damage. Then there is the fact the drive could disengage and drop the pieces out of slipspace in the middle of a sun, planet, or other object. Or be in the middle of nowhere.
About the saber, he says when you finish up fighting "Six, the Savannah did a number on this ship, no way back up to the Sabers."
For once, we agree.
