Mennho IV Begins Rebuilding

After -1minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Mennho IV. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 163 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 19 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Mennho IV remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 08/04/2014 at 21:19 when Rnard forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Mennho IV. 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 313,867 jobs have been removed from the economy of Mennho IV and 89,216 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Mennho IV 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.
