After experiencing consecutive defeats on the O'Brian Republic battlefield, the Kales Empire faced a comprehensive counterattack from the O'Brian Republic, chasing the Kales Empire fleet until the Kales Empire finally withdrew from the O'Brian Republic.
The second expedition ended in failure once again, just like the battle of Chloe Star years ago, it resulted in a significant defeat, not only coming back empty-handed but also incurring massive losses, likely requiring years to recover.
Of course, the situation for the O'Brian Republic isn't particularly favorable either. The battlefield was spread across various major planets in the O'Brian Republic, many of which were damaged. The O'Brian Republic lost its former control and cannot regain strength in the short term.
