The battle, which includes forces from Gixer1985 and Clubbers fighting against elements of Pirates, has seen 53 units destroyed and over 5 facilities left in ruin. The GTC has predicted a massive strain on the economy of Cissse IX due to this conflict. However, sources within the GTC indicate that all trade routes are still intact.

Citizens of Cissse IX are feeling the pressure of the clash as 7,002 jobs have been removed from the economy due to damaged facilities and 80,092 homes have been demolished. Some citizens have begun the process of fleeing Cissse IX 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."
