WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 08/05/2015 at 23:41 into a full conflict. Forces from Deveroes fighting against elements of Pirates, has seen 0 units destroyed and over 8 facilities left in ruin on Episer IV. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Episer IV are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Episer IV and its colonies. With such catastrophic death tolls that are only promising to rise as the fighting continues, there is enormous uncertainty in the air.
