After the naval battle ended, the SLDF's [[III Corps (Star League)|III Corps]] was called in to take the worlds. Before they could drop on the planet, [[Admiral]] [[Janissa Franklin]], the naval task force commander, furious from her fleet's losses, executed a series of indiscriminate orbital bombardments on the world that left a quarter million citizens dead and millions more wounded or homeless. The bombardments destroyed the defenders, but also cemented the Robsartians' hatred of the Star League.<ref name=H:RWp74/> As a result, the SLDF troops faced three months of massive "human wave" attacks that required the SLDF troops to kill tens of thousands of people. Though the world was officially declared pacified at the end of August, the Robsartians continued to resist their occupiers for several decades after the end of the war.<ref name=H:RWp75/>

In [[2764]] Robsart was hit by a substantial pirate raid. The pirates were driven off by the defending [[Twenty-sixth Avalon Hussars]], who would spend at least a year rebuilding afterward; the Twenty-sixth used matériel salvaged from the pirates as a part of their rebuilding, equipment that was noted as being of a distinctly Taurian nature.<ref name="FR:FS2765p9">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 9: "Avalon Hussars"</ref>
