Decline in Combat on Menpel I

Hostilites on Menpel I have come to a decline as of 08/05/2014 at 17:23. The conflict has already claimed at least 139 lives and seen the loss of 69 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/05/2014 at 17:22 when battle elements of Lightforger 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 Menpel I are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 63 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
