The battle, which includes forces from Theredninja fighting against elements of OdinPrime, has seen 4 units destroyed and over 63 facilities left in ruin. The GTC has predicted a massive strain on the economy of Episer VIII due to this conflict. However, sources within the GTC indicate that all trade routes are still intact.

Citizens of Episer VIII are feeling the pressure of the clash as 244,699 jobs have been removed from the economy due to damaged facilities and 121,659 homes have been demolished. Some citizens have begun the process of fleeing Episer VIII while others are determined to weather the onslaught. One citizen stated, "This is our home. I was here when we made planetfall and saw the first cornerstones of this colony established."
