Holngu VIII Begins Rebuilding

After 15minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Holngu VIII. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 575 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 24 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Holngu VIII remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 08/23/2013 at 15:17 when Goudron forces clashed with Fragged forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Holngu VIII. Humanitarian efforts dispatched from the Galactic Senate are underway.

"The sight of the destruction is amazing. It is hard to imagine the loss of life from this encounter.", one spokesperson from the GTC reported.It is reported that 45,462 jobs have been removed from the economy of Holngu VIII and 1,059,444 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Holngu VIII will be huge for quite a while. The rebuilding process will take a lot of time.", the GTC spokesperson stated.

It is still unclear whether this decline in hostilities is permanent or if it is only temporary. While relations remain strained between the warring factions, everything remains uncertain.
