During a [1E-S] attempt, I hit Silent Enemy. a battle immediately ensues and under normal circumstances, my ship becomes stopped due to the battle, and the attempt ends.

However, in a recent game, my ship was Olarra and I have a Battle Bridge Door stocked with all It Must Be Destroyed, which says:

If battling a [Self] card, ATTACK bonus +4 and your ships and crews are not stopped afterwards (but may not initiate battle again this turn).

Since I am not stopped, does the attempt continue to the next dilemma, or does that battle end the attempt with my ship unstopped?

In this specific case, the battle is a sub-action of a dilemma encounter, which is a sub-action of the mission attempt. Normally you're correct that getting stopped ends the mission attempt, but since you're not stopped, I don't see any reason that the mission attempt would end. I think you keep going to next dilemma just like after you resolve any other dilemma that doesn't stop you.

That was my take too, but battle is confusing as it is. Any weigh-in from Rules? @BCSWowbagger
