Decline in Combat on Verdte I

Hostilites on Verdte I have come to a decline as of 10/08/2014 at 05:48. The conflict has already claimed at least 5 lives and seen the loss of 5 units and facilities.

Battle began 10/08/2014 at 05:50 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.
