Decline in Combat on Topshu V

Hostilites on Topshu V have come to a decline as of 01/01/2016 at 21:59. The conflict has already claimed at least 514 lives and seen the loss of 14 units and facilities.

Battle began 01/01/2016 at 17:14 when battle elements of Maestro engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Topshu V are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 6 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
