The melee lasted nearly two months, and ultimately, the Expeditionary Army managed to annihilate the enemy entirely, at the cost of losing nearly half of its forces.
On the surface, the Alliance Army had more large and giant warships, but what truly brought victory to the Expeditionary Army were not the original thousand main battle armored ships nor the three thousand secondary ships, but rather a large number of micro-scale combat units controlled by several grassroots soldiers and a vast number of single-soldier special operations warriors that had markedly advanced in recent decades.
