Decline in Combat on Verdte I

Hostilites on Verdte I have come to a decline as of 02/28/2016 at 01:45. The conflict has already claimed at least 7 lives and seen the loss of 7 units and facilities.

Battle began 02/28/2016 at 01:46 when battle elements of Mallagan 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 Verdte I are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 7 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
