The battle was a victory for Task Force SERPENT; while the ''Winter Wind'' was permanently disabled and the ''Ursus'' destroyed, the ''Fire Fang'' surrendered in a repairable state and the ''Shining Claw'' surrendered after taking crippling damage. The Task Force SERPENT report also indicated that two damaged ''[[Union-C]]''-class DropShips were recovered, as well as the ''[[Broadsword]]''-class DropShip [[Stiletto (Individual Broadsword-class DropShip)|CGB ''Ice Dart'']].<ref name="THp240">''The Hunters'', ch. 27, p. 240</ref>

While some of those Ghost Bear personnel and civilians captured at the battle of Trafalgar swore bond oaths to Task Force SERPENT, many refused. The commander of the Task Force, [[Marshal of the Armies|Marshal]] [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]], decided that those who refused to swear a bond oath should be exiled on the most inhabitable world in the system; he dubbed the planet Lee Shore, and the largest transport vessels in the Task Force spent seven days transporting them to the planet, and another seven traveling back to the Task Force. Lee Shore was discovered to be a thickly forested garden world, and while the Clansmen were abandoned with only basic tools, the site of the lush and fertile world caused a certain amount of resentment amongst those transporting them, a result of the comparison between the prospects for founding a colony on the world compared to the Task Force's combat-filled immediate future.<ref name="THp259">''The Hunters'', ch. 29, pp. 259–262</ref>
