Though he dismissed Marshal Blake-Andrews in a vain attempt to deflect blame for the failed campaign onto her, Semyon Calderon lost almost all of his prestige and influence over his ignominious defeat and the total lack of any Davion aggression (or even interest!) made him a laughingstock in both Periphery realms, local media deriding him for "playing House Lord". With the Privy Council and Taurian people having lost faith in his leadership, Semyon would ultimately resign as Protector in [[2816]]. In his place, the Privy Council chose Minister of Education [[Rayna Arantino]] to serve as Protector of the Realm, one of the very few times a member outside of [[House Calderon]] has held the post. Blake-Andrews' replacement as head of the TDF was Natal Choudhoury of the [[Taurian Guard]], who would later sum up the war with a dry quip: "It was not a total loss, it can always be used as a bad example!"

− The Taurian-Canopian War would be the only Periphery war for nearly two centuries; not until the [[Canopian]] invasion of the [[Capellan Confederation]] in [[3030]] would any Outer Realm gird itself for a national conflict. Despite the total war tone of the era, the conflict was remarkable as being the "cleanest" of the many border skirmishes of the First Succession War, with no weapons of mass destruction deployed or even [[WarShip]] involved. The War was also memorable for exceedingly short time spent fighting, though it stretched for eight months the vast distances between realms the four battle sites meant bulk of that in total combat operations lasted all of eight [[Terra Synchronized Time|Terran Standard days]], thus 200 Hour War name used by some observers.<ref name=P-61/><ref name=FSW-101/><ref name=HMPS-41/><ref name=P2-10/><ref name=FMP-48/> + The Taurian-Canopian War would be the only Periphery war for nearly two centuries; not until the [[Canopian]] invasion of the [[Capellan Confederation]] in [[3030]] would any Outer Realm gird itself for a national conflict.
