The destruction of Sacramento allowed the Ha'tak continue on their rampage across the Continental United States crossing the Sierra Nevada and destroying Reno and Carson City. While Nevada did not collapse as much as Hawaii or even California the destruction of their capital weakened any and all authority in the region leading to the military governments at the end of the battle. As the Ha'tak continued it left large parts of Nevada untouched compared to their neighbours due to the United States Air Force alongside the Canadian detachment of the Imperial Air Force attacking together. When the Ha'tak crossed the border into Utah they destroyed the cities of Ogden and Salt Lake City alongside the Salt Lake itself. While the state government and leadership of the Mormon Church managed to escape the city many of the more radical members of the church believed that the End Times had come which divided the church and their ability to help the refuges that were fleeing across the state. From Utah the Ha'tak headed north into Wyoming where it destroyed little though several Al'kesh were dispatched to release Jaffa to raid the countryside. From Wyoming it turned east and entered Nebraska it narrowly missed Lincoln and destroyed Omaha. As the Ha'tak continued the Al'kesh that it had sent out ahead to scout out good targets returned with news of the highly industrialized Great Lakes and East Coast perfect targets for the Ha'tak so it adjusted their course from the burning ruins of Des Monies north-east towards Illinois and Chicago. When the Ha'tak reached the city, they faced their first large scale resistance when the longest-range guns that had been dug in in Canada began to fire on the Ha'tak. While the plasma was weak after traveling the distance, it weakened the shields more than the Death Gliders and anti-Aircraft guns did. While Chicago was destroyed much the same as Sacramento in the midst of a failed evacuation the efforts of the United Empire proved useful in a few hours. As the Ha'tak continued along the Great Lakes towards Detroit they destroyed a large part of the American economy leading to the rise of the Keynesian school in the Republican-Progressive Party.
The destruction of Algiers by the African Ha'tak was anticlimactic for such an important city while the majority of the colonial leadership and the near entirety of the Pieds-Noirs population was able to escape the weakening of French power in the region was massive and the effects can still be felt today. As the Ha'tak flew over the Mediterranean several trade routes and warships were sunk weakening the already small force that was gathering at Corsica. Led by the newest Dreadnought in the French fleet Napoleon VI the Marine Nationale/ Marine Royale/ Marine Française Impériale prepared for battle. The Ha'tak had destroyed the force of the Regina Marina that had sailed from Sardinia in an attempt to join the Marine Nationale prior to reaching Corsica so the odds were decisively in the Goa'uld favour. When the Ha'tak entered the range of the French guns it was met with one of the largest naval bombardments in French history which did nothing save slightly lower the power in the shields. As the Ha'tak drew closer it withstood three French salvos before it responded. The first shot destroyed the Napoleon VI with the engine room and magazine both pierced by the plasma. The Dreadnought exploded heralding the second salvo from the Ha'tak. The entire fleet was destroyed within three salvos from the Ha'tak and as it advanced towards Ajaccio which was promptly destroyed the thirty survivors dragged themselves on to the beaches of Corsica to see the Ha'tak depart for Marseilles and destiny.
The Battle of the Celtic Sea was an absolute bloodbath both sides had reasonably even weapons and the Ha'tak's shields were already low allowing the British to have a chance to destroy the Ha'tak. Led by the HMIS Hood and the HIMS Lion the Imperial Navy unleashed their full force onto the Ha'tak. The Ha'tak fired back with three Dreadnoughts sunk before the shield fell but after thirty minutes of bombardment the shield fell, and the Imperial Navy began to pound the Ha'tak itself. The gold that plated the interior of the Ha'tak began to melt after ten minutes as the exterior collapsed then a shot broke through the lower hull and a second shot hit the engine of the Ha'tak. Immediately the Ha'tak began to fall towards the sea which only led to the shots that hit the ship having more power which only did more damage. The Ha'tak hit the water at 9:47 and slowly began to sink as water poured in through the many holes in the hull. The detachment of Imperial Marines were immediately ordered to secure the wreck and make sure that no Jaffa escaped. The Imperial Marines found a short but brutal fight as the Jaffa sent to Earth had been very loyal to Cronus but several hundred were captured and sent back to the mainland. The last action the Imperial Marines did before abandoning the ship was raising the Union Jack at the peak of the vessel the last sight of the North Atlantic Ha'tak was the Union Jack slipping beneath the waves as the Biliskner arrived in Earth's orbit. The North Atlantic Ha'tak was the only ship destroyed solely by humanity and was a decisive victory but the toll that the other Ha'taks made mankind pay was far too high for many and the United Empire entered a diplomatically controversial time.
-Extract from Antony Beevor's book the Battle of Earth and the Aftermath
When the Biliskner arrived at the Solar System the North Atlantic Ha'tak had just been destroyed and Operation Conquest cancelled but the African Ha'tak was close to Marseilles and the American Ha'tak had just blasted Detroit to ruin. The Defence of Marseilles was commanded by Emperor Napoleon VI, so the French Federation arguably had a higher need for aid then the Americans since Washington DC was far away from the American Ha'tak. The French had just begun to start firing the few guns that they had available in the city at the Ha'tak in an attempt to hold off the impending destruction of the city. Then the Biliskner came down from the sky and blasted the Ha'tak from existence. As the French stared in shock the Biliskner speed off to the other side of the planet where just as President Charles Curtis blew his brains out over depression the American Ha'tak was torn apart over Lake Erie. The Battle of Earth was over the exact casualties have been lost to history, but it has been generally estimated that the American Ha'tak killed over 6,668,879 people, the African Ha'tak killed an unknown number due to the lack of censuses down in the European colonies, and the North Atlantic Ha'tak killed 11,000 people mostly in the Battle of the Celtic Sea. The Battle of Earth directly led to the independence of the Second Kingdom of Hawaii the allied nations transitioning to plasma and far more militarist stance towards the Goa'uld.
