Scenario Outcome: Steel Viper Victory

The loss of the Lyran fleet at the Dark Nebula was a serious blow to both the Lyran Navy and the Jade Falcons. Worse, all across the front the Lyrans' probes into Steel Viper territory were firmly repelled. While this was in no way a victory for the Adders, who quickly found themselves evicted from Camelot Command by the victorious Vipers, it was clear that a new threat to Lyran domination had appeared on the stage.
