From what Shinji suggests, this is very probably the ultimate battle, not only between the EDB and the Crimson Armada but with Kirina. Both are threats, and I doubt Kirina is the sole enforcer of their civilisation. I do not see any certainty that the crimson Armada cannot grow back in the absence of Kirina.

I was under the impression that the soldiers were a minor threat. Once the organizational structure is destroyed, I see little threat in them.

I agree with Spirit. The organization did exist, from what I recall, before Kirina's control of it. No guarantee it wouldn't exist after a theoretical end to that control either.
