The mission fails with 2 of the 6 Loyal Clones dying. Pine Escapes stealing a Repulblic Nu-Class transport and 3 Arc-170s to get control of his 3 Venator Class Star Destroyers with all of his Clones troopers whom Pine thought betrayed the jedi but they were loyal to him that did not receive the order due to a comunications problem on the ship.
