Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Perssi have come to a decline as of 08/20/2015 at 23:48. The conflict has already claimed at least 713 lives and seen the loss of 35 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/20/2015 at 23:46 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Lightforger. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

The Galactic Trade Commission has begun taking advantage of the pause in combat to make large progress on clearing the debris left behind from the battles.
