Decline in Combat on Mennke VIII

Hostilites on Mennke VIII have come to a decline as of 08/10/2014 at 02:19. The conflict has already claimed at least 659 lives and seen the loss of 35 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/10/2014 at 02:20 when battle elements of Leyo and Pirates engaged the forces of Agatian. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Mennke VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 12 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
