I would personally count that battle as an ESU partial victory, as the base is going to spend years getting the damage repaired, which will tie more mobile defences to the system (which have to be drawn from elsewhere). In the same amount of time, the ESU will have replaced all their losses at least three-fold and can try again later (they only have to succeed once, after all).
