Within the Legends continuity, the space battle shown in this mission, along with the ships involved, is considered C-canon; however, the result is not fixed because it is determined by the player's actions. Absent any further canon details, it is best to presume the battle did not have any significant consequences, such as the destruction of either of the starships.
