Decline in Combat on Menpel III

Hostilites on Menpel III have come to a decline as of 06/08/2015 at 16:59. The conflict has already claimed at least 180 lives and seen the loss of 172 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/08/2015 at 16:49 when battle elements of Lightforger engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Menpel III are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 171 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
