Decline in Combat on Verdte XIII

Hostilites on Verdte XIII have come to a decline as of 12/22/2014 at 07:13. The conflict has already claimed at least 7,370 lives and seen the loss of 290 units and facilities.

Battle began 12/22/2014 at 07:03 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 XIII 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.
