With the battle all but over, Galactica moves to recover her remaining fighters with her remaining two main hangars. Luckily, the outboard pods are virtually unmanned in battle, meaning that shipboard casualties were remarkably light. All told, about a third of her fighters were lost to enemy craft, and nearly all of her bombers are now tiny globes of condensed metal floating in space. Once all the fighters are brought aboard, she enters slipspace for home, and a lengthy refit. About half of the original dreadnoughts survived the battle, and they soon join the Galactica back at Ceres for repairs. The seven remaining Nebulons stay behind for the mop up work, with the more damaged ones landing at The Fissure for repairs.

The powerful tractor beams of the Viscount are used to lasso the careening drive sections of some of the destroyed Nebulons, and some engine crews are indeed rescued from their derelict ships. The slowly cooling blob of titanium and steel that was the port hangar of Galactica is slowly falling towards Tenelapis, and will slam into the surface in a few days.
