Achieving victory conditions for the event not being the same thing as being the force who survived the battle.
So the GRN has spent a significant amount of material in which it did finally defeat the Oblique, but no, not enough to hold the system.
Surely then the Oblique could just survive. That doesn't necessarily have to translate into them taking control over the system.
The Oblique being destroyed AND Gallia abandoning the system after an event victory is just stupid. It makes the Gallic participation in this event seem pointless.
Well they stopped the potential Council gains, and the Council side stemmed Gallic military gains. The point of participating was to at least block your enemy from an easy win at the very least. The secondary victory is a bonus for the Gallic side.
Wars go on. After a short time, both sides can regroup and challenge again in the near future. Why not? If you can't gain a decisive victory, you can at least stop your enemy from geting one. Sometimes in war that's all you can hope for at times. And the Gallic side did get lucky that the battle was going on much closer to their respawn point. They had the 'high ground' in that regards.
All in all a good event though, lots of good action! Next time though the ships should have to follow a set route and there should be a time limit on how long the titans have to stay at the front (cuz if you think about it if they have to stay in battle its just a matter of time before they get destroyed anyways which is why both went down), the point should be to try to take out the other ship before it can withdaw/move on to its objective.
