After 4minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end in Verdte. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 171 lives on both sides of the line.

The combat began 03/12/2016 at 19:53 when Mallagan and Pirates forces clashed with Lightforger forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be. The wreckage left in the space lanes will be an issue for quite a while as crews begin the salvage process.

It is unclear the costs of the battle in monetary amounts and how far the conflict will set back the civilizations of the sides involved. As more than 42 military assets are left in ruin floating in space, it will remain uncertain how both sides of the conflict will rebound.

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.
