The colony was lost and presumably glassed by the Covenant after the UNSC's defeat. The humans sustained huge losses on both fronts despite having inflicted enormous casualties against the Covenant on the planet's surface, losses that at the time were merely considered "collateral damage" and acceptable in the face of the larger threat posed by the alien hegemony. The battle came at the cost of most, if not all the rebel forces who had aligned themselves with the Spartans in their mission to stop the Covenant, a decision that greatly angered John who had honored his alliance with the rebels. Alpha Corvi II was just one of countless of worlds in the [[Outer Colonies]] that would fall to the Covenant onslaught, and as their defeats mounted the UNSC would be forced to reconsider the acceptability of freely expending its own people, both military and civilian in the face of the worsening crisis. | |||
Blue Team succeeded in their mission to prevent the Forerunner artifact from falling into enemy hands, but with the intelligence they gathered destroyed in the battle within the mine, its purpose and power remained unclear to the UNSC. | |||
