The people who arrived on the beach, besides the twenty-six who had been killed, all became prisoners.
Seeing the fight break out on the beach, the landing craft retreated immediately, and by the time the battle was over, the landing ship was far from the coast. At this point, the landing ship had successfully completed its mission of delivering equipment and prisoners for the Skull Gang, and the captain could go back to claim his reward from Djo Malthael.
The battle ended, but that's when things really started to pick up, with prisoners to be gathered and watched over, and the equipment already delivered ashore needed to be put to use as soon as possible.
