Rather than a swift rout of light militia forces as had happened on worlds like [[Schirmeck]], the battle for Nexus Ri rapidly became a conventional war; the Mechs of the Galedon Regulars made swift gains initially, but were facing twice their number of tanks and infantry and the Alliance forces consistently surrounded the Combine 'Mechs, preventing them from breaking out to attack the civilian population. The Combine forces still made daily gains, and were supported by weekly supply shipments, but the Alliance forces resisted for the remainder of [[2582]]; by the time the [[2nd Armored Division]] had been reduced to a ghost of its former self and forced to retreat off-world on the 12th of January [[2583]], the resistance offered by the Alliance forces on [[Kazanka]], Nexus Ri and [[Zlatousi]] had forced the Combine forces to burn through a supply reserve meant to support the entire campaign against the Alliance for a year in just three short months.<ref name="H:RWp121+"/>

Nexus Ri was lost to the Outworlds Alliance, and would remain an occupied world under the 4th Galedon Regulars until the 1st of August [[2585]] when it and 13 other worlds were ceded to the [[Draconis Combine]] as a part of the terms laid out within the [[Treaty of Cerberus]]. Despite being a loss for the Alliance, the battle for Nexus Ri helped buy time for the Alliance to build up its forces and further fortify inner worlds for the battles that would come in later years of the invasion.<ref name="H:RWp126">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126: "Year Five: Peace In Our Time"</ref>
