Decline in Combat on Optcap IX
Hostilites on Optcap IX have come to a decline as of 07/21/2014 at 22:22. The conflict has already claimed at least 6,138 lives and seen the loss of 38 units and facilities.
Battle began 07/21/2014 at 22:07 when battle elements of S.Telar engaged the forces of Lightforger. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.
Citizens of Optcap IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 36 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
