The outcome of the battle is largely unknown, as little information exists on events following Bornstellar's escape. It is known that at least one of the five Halos under Mendicant Bias' control was destroyed,<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 314''</ref> and that at least one of the remaining rings—[[Installation 07]]—was fired. Of the seven Halos that attempted to escape, only one successfully entered the portal. There, it joined the newer array of six installations under the control of the [[Librarian]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 335''</ref> | The outcome of the battle is largely unknown, as little information exists on events following Bornstellar's escape.

The rampant Mendicant Bias survived the battle intact by retreating into a distant system aboard Installation 07. However, the Halo was later intercepted and seized by the IsoDidact's forces. The installation's Mendicant Bias fragment was captured and was subsequently forced to undergo a process to "correct" its rampancy.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 356''</ref> The AI was splintered into many of its components, which were then spread throughout the ecumene for study. However, this was not ultimately successful in stopping the rampant Mendicant Bias, as the Flood would soon overrun the sites where the scattered portions of the AI were being held and managed to rebuild and reactivate the AI.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 267-268''</ref> | The rampant Mendicant Bias survived the battle intact by retreating into a distant system aboard Installation 07.
