Cease Fire On Verdte XIII

At 12/24/2015 at 09:12 the skirmish between the forces of Pirates and the forces of Sniv have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 12/24/2015 at 09:14, claimed 622 lives on both sides of the engagement.

The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of Verdte XIII as the first shells hit their targets. Experts expected this conflict to draw on longer than it did. Skeptics warn that this decline should not be considered permanent and that more hostilities are probable as long as relations between the two factions remain strained.
