Decline in Combat on Verdte VIII

Hostilites on Verdte VIII have come to a decline as of 08/27/2014 at 14:35. The conflict has already claimed at least 107 lives and seen the loss of 3 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/27/2014 at 14:38 when battle elements of DaemonDeadKing engaged the forces of DiebS. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 3 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
