Decline in Combat on Verdte III

Hostilites on Verdte III have come to a decline as of 06/05/2014 at 10:09. The conflict has already claimed at least 87 lives and seen the loss of 77 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/05/2014 at 10:10 when battle elements of Raven08 engaged the forces of Fragged. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte III 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.
