Decline in Combat on Mennke XIII

Hostilites on Mennke XIII have come to a decline as of 03/17/2014 at 21:15. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,846 lives and seen the loss of 80 units and facilities.

Battle began 03/17/2014 at 21:00 when battle elements of Kaliza engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Mennke XIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 76 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
