There are also some terms that we would like to include here to help you understand certain aspects of the game. - With a Successful Invasion, it is when an attacker scores more hits than there are nodes found upon the planetary system. - With Collateral Damage, it is when an attacker scoring fewer hits than there are nodes found upon the planetary system. - With Total Annihilation, it is when an attacker scoring hits equal to the nodes found upon the planetary system, include the control node found upon it, if present. - With Hegemony Resistance, it is equal to the number of structures found upon a planetary system plus the Ascendancy level of the faction that controls it. But if its an independent system, then leave out the Ascendancy level aspect of this.
