WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 09/07/2015 at 12:25 into a full conflict. Forces from Pirates fighting against elements of DiebS, has seen 2 units destroyed and over 0 facilities left in ruin on Verdte VIII. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Verdte VIII are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Verdte VIII 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.
