After 3minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Verfla VIII. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 680 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 56 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Verfla VIII remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 08/02/2015 at 10:41 when Lightforger forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Verfla VIII. Humanitarian efforts dispatched from the Galactic Senate are underway.

"The sight of the destruction is amazing. It is hard to imagine the loss of life from this encounter.", one spokesperson from the GTC reported.It is reported that 1,214,144 jobs have been removed from the economy of Verfla VIII and 3,234,109 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Verfla VIII will be huge for quite a while. The rebuilding process will take a lot of time.", the GTC spokesperson stated.

It is still unclear whether this decline in hostilities is permanent or if it is only temporary. While relations remain strained between the warring factions, everything remains uncertain.
