I certainly envisage they are all dead or dumped back into hell by the
end of the fight. I'm in two minds about having the leader ressurected
to return in 1621 for another go. They don't try in between due to some
combination of - they aren't there, the Lunar general doesn't want them,
the Shargashi leader is disgraced because the early assault was his idea
or the surprise they achieved the first time wouldn't exist for a repeat.
