It wasn't able to launch it's fighters and gunships because of a malfunction of the hangar doors, which could neither be opened nor repaired in the heat of battle. The Humanus was the first Venator to be destroyed. The crash could be witnessed by the rest of the ground forces from miles away. The plan was put into action and the Calamity crashed near the city the 501st and the 341st were fighting at. Then the captain wanted to send the ground-forces in behind the falling ship. They mainly went to the Caesar, the Ullia, and also the Far star, which was the only ship to have survived the ordeal. When the seperatist forces had destroyed one of the command towers and most of the weaponry of the Caesar, it's captain decided to evacuate the crew of the venator.

What happened to the pods, or their inhabitants (if there were any), is unknown. Most or the crew of the Caesar died during the attack, but a few escape pods were seen ejecting. The big ship broke in the middle, and both parts crashed against each other. Hyena bomber squadrons had taken out the shields and then the engines, making it easy prey for the seperatist cruisers. The lead ship of the small 91st fleet, the Caesar, was the penultimate 91st ship to be destroyed in this battle, right before the destruction of the Ullia. Only one ship of the 91st's fleet survived the battle: the Arquintens Class Light Cruiser the 'Far Star' was able to retreat with the remainders of the fleets of the 501st and 341st

The 91st's ships were positioned on the left flank of the battlefield (republic view), and did their best to defeat the enemy in front of them, by coordinating their attacks against one target at a time. The part of the space forces over Jabiim that were from the 91st recon corps, consisted of three Venators and two Arquintens-Class Light Cruisers. These are the casualties the 91st reconnaissance corp suffered (in the SWCWB V2 RP).
