The battle cost the SLDF eight WarShips, although they destroyed fourteen Republican WarShips before the Rim Worlds forces withdrew; Rummolo ordered Serdamba to take his surviving ships and the two surviving destroyers from Rummolo's group to the Tau Ceti V Lagrange point to defend the Apollo-Four shipyards, while Rummolo led fourteen military and civilian [[JumpShip]]s out of the system to a secret SLDF facility later known as [[Freedom Station]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p72"/> It is unclear if the Apollo-Four shipyards survived the Amaris Civil war.
