Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Menpel have come to a decline as of 07/12/2014 at 15:45. The conflict has already claimed at least 1 lives and seen the loss of 1 units and facilities.

Battle began 07/12/2014 at 15:47 when battle elements of Monk engaged the forces of Lightforger. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

The Galactic Trade Commission has begun taking advantage of the pause in combat to make large progress on clearing the debris left behind from the battles.
