Do I lose the fighters then? Or is that technically part of actual combat?
I don't think you lose the fighters until the end of combat. The Rules Reference is explicit about losing units that exceed capacity at the end of the Space Combat section. It includes no such instructions in the Space Cannon section. Also, in Capacity section 16.3 it states:
"• A player’s fighters and ground forces can exceed capacity during combat. At the end of combat, he must destroy the excess units."
It is somewhat vague though, since Space Cannon usage technically happens at the end of Movement rather than during Space Combat.

Right, but he this hit didn't come from the Space Cannon, its based on Creuss special abilities. Which states "At the start of combat, (conditional), create and assign 1 hit." So I would assume this means combat has already started.
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
I mean, it totally would have been in-character for this combat for you to have exactly the right card to hose that play. I figured you'd've run the odds and realized that a Direct Hit on a Dreadnought to start the combat would've probably swung things in your favor from the get-go.
Besides, I needed all of the bombardment guns for the next step.
I missed an important rule and blew this great roll.
I looked at the ground combat section, which doesn't specify assigning bombardment on a per-unit basis, just that you can bombard without landing a ground troop. Just. Fuck.

Play Maneuvering jets
Assign the one remaining hit to my destroyer
Maneuvering Jets- Before you assign hits from another player's space cannon, cancel 1 hit.
@Elvenshae to distribute two hits to non fighter units, and then assign his wormhole hit to me
How many cards do you have left in-hand?

Assign one hit to each Dreadnought.
I generate and assign one hit to your carrier, @Mojo_Jojo, which kills it reduces your transport capacity to 1 (+3 local fighters from the Spacedock).
