The fight was not cheap for Clan Jade Falcon forces. The ''Hawk Eye'' was lost during the initial approach to Etienne's Sanctuary, after being struck with some form of weaponised [[HPG]] pulse that took control of the ''Hawk Eye's'' systems and forced it to jump. As the ''Hawk Eye'' was mid-transit between the jump point and the planet this resulted in the annihilation of the ''Hawk Eye'', although the loss did not deter the Falcons from their objective.<ref name="WORp138"/> The fight was not cheap for Clan Jade Falcon forces.
