Decline in Combat on Verdte I

Hostilites on Verdte I have come to a decline as of 09/17/2014 at 00:13. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,260 lives and seen the loss of 60 units and facilities.

Battle began 09/16/2014 at 23:49 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Sniv. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte I are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 0 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
