Decline in Combat on Episer XIII

Hostilites on Episer XIII have come to a decline as of 08/08/2014 at 20:31. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,111 lives and seen the loss of 62 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/08/2014 at 20:19 when battle elements of Astrogeorge 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 Episer XIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 27 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
