The defenders lost during the battle many good soldiers. The effectiv use of the Dropship-squadron were repeated several times. The DCMS learned to fade away with the incming Drophsips.

| − | ===Follow Up Invasion===
| |
| − | During the first phase of Operation Götterdämmerung the DCMS were suprised by the ferocity of the invading LCAF. From the initial 23 system 21 were conquered. The Archon decided to use the swing to push further into the Combine with the goal that the draconian High Command must use their reserve units to hold the line. The forces were exhausted from the continued fighting and old problems rose again. The DCMS had recoverd from the inital shock and started also single counterattacks. <ref name=NAISVol1p59>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'' p. 59</ref>

| − | ===Conclusion===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyrans]] had many things going for them. They had the Rasalhague rebels fomenting insurrection and providing them with intelligence. They had [[Takashi Kurita]]'s distraction with [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. They used these advantages to push the [[Draconis Combine]] back along a very broad front. They took a number of traditionally Rasalhagian worlds from the Combine, though their successes did not match what the [[Federated Suns]] managed to achieve against the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellans]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lyran military doctrine was significantly different than that of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. Whereas the AFFS executed several different "waves," effectively leapfrogging each other, the Lyrans used their wall of assault 'Mechs and pushed into the Draconis Combine on a very broad front. This was not a tactic that had served the Lyrans well in the past, but circumstances conspired to make it a feasible strategy for the 4th War.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Lyran offensive was stalled when the Combine struck back and scored a couple of worlds that put them within one jump of [[Skye]], a regional capital. Unwilling to continue pressing forward, but unable to reclaim their lost worlds, the Lyran assault ground to a halt.
