Early estimates report units and 125 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Cogdmu III remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 09/28/2013 at 15:03 when Grappler forces clashed with Valen forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Cogdmu III. 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 5,038,900 jobs have been removed from the economy of Cogdmu III and 4,591,076 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Cogdmu III 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.
