Others mourn inside the cave at their makeshift headquarters, and still others get a visit from the Loth-wolves. In the end, the team realizes that their sacrifice resulted in a victory, but they still have work to do. Meanwhile, Thrawn that her ill-conceived attack might have earned a short term victory, but it also potentially cost them a greater long win in the war.
