Aftermath & evaluation
While the Raspur Pact was able to secure a number of its objectives during the conflict, the scale of the resistance offered by the Confederacy of the Dispossessed caught them off guard and required a number of years to quell.
The Benacian Union acknowledged the loss of 2,809 armoured vehicles during the Norasht and Normark campaigns. The majority of these losses being attributed to ex-Bassarid quadwalkers and UAVs adapted by the Disinherited to deliver anti-tank munitions directly against weak spots in the AFVs defensive armour whilst defeating active and passive munition kill systems by utilising swarming tactics.
The reliance of the Raspur Pact upon strategic bombardment to overcome operational-level obstacles remained a signature feature of their campaigns. The orbital bombardment platforms maintained by the Natopian Defense Force were the most visible contribution of the Bovic Empire to the allied cause. Orbital strikes on ex-Bassarid ports in Corum, Eura, and Keltia, did however have a beneficial strategic effect in forcing the dispersal of the Corsair fleets which might otherwise have offered more effective support to the resistance in Norasht and Passas.
The conflict also saw the rapid evolution of technologies with a military application developed by Nouvelle Alexandrie. It was not all an upward trajectory for that Federation however, as the Emergency Shipbuiling Program demonstrated the extent to which the ruling FHP and the Honourable Company had permitted a culture of corruption to flourish at the expense of efficiency.
