Topshu II Begins Rebuilding

After -2minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Topshu II. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 2,129 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 26 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Topshu II remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 11/18/2015 at 16:47 when Maestro forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Topshu II. 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 104,186 jobs have been removed from the economy of Topshu II and 81,106 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Topshu II 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.
